Description

The Automatic Vertical Wicking Tester is an advanced laboratory instrument designed to evaluate the capillary wicking behavior of textiles in the vertical direction. It measures how efficiently liquid rises through a fabric over time, helping determine the moisture absorption, spreading, and comfort performance of materials used in sportswear, activewear, and technical textiles.

The tester automatically records wicking height versus time through high-precision optical or sensor-based detection. The system’s digital control and data acquisition software provide real-time monitoring, accurate measurement, and automatic report generation, reducing human error and improving test repeatability.

With its automated lifting system, temperature control, and user-friendly interface, the Automatic Vertical Wicking Tester ensures consistent, reproducible results in compliance with international standards such as AATCC 197, ISO 9073-6, and GB/T 21655.1.

Key Features:

• Measures vertical wicking height and rate automatically

• Real-time data acquisition with digital display and software analysis

• Consistent temperature and liquid level control

• Automated test process for high accuracy and repeatability

• Conforms to AATCC, ISO, and GB/T standards

Applications:
Ideal for textile manufacturers, testing laboratories, and R&D departments to evaluate fabric moisture management, comfort, and performance—essential for developing high-quality sportswear, underwear, and technical fabrics.
