Test Procedures
Install the sock sample between the clamps and set the desired clamping distance.
Configure test parameters: force, elongation, and speed via the touch screen.
Start the test; the system automatically applies force and records elongation.
Monitor data in real-time; view force-extension curves and other calculated parameters.
Export results to Excel or print via the built-in printer.
Perform calibration as necessary before testing to ensure accuracy.
Maintenance Information
Regularly inspect clamps and moving components for wear.
Clean the instrument surfaces and sample holders to avoid residue build-up.
Periodically verify force calibration and sensor accuracy.
Keep the instrument in a dry, dust-free environment.
Lubricate mechanical parts as per manual instructions to maintain smooth operation.
