The Carpet Peel & Tuft Tester is designed to evaluate the retention performance of tufts in tufted and traditional carpets. It measures the force required to pull out individual tufts or loops, providing accurate assessment of the bonding strength between the carpet pile and backing. This instrument is essential for laboratories, quality control, and research applications where carpet durability and pile retention are critical.

Application

You can use this tester to assess tuft or loop retention under controlled conditions. Typical applications include:

(1) Laboratory testing of tufted carpets and loop-pile carpets for quality control

(2) Evaluating tuft retention in small sample batches before large-scale production

(3) Testing existing carpets on staircases, commercial areas, or high-traffic zones

(4) Research and development of new carpet constructions and backing materials

(5) Comparative testing of carpets with different fiber types, backing structures, or pile densities

This tester is suitable for all types of tufted and loop-pile carpets.

Standards

The Carpet Peel & Tuft Tester is designed to comply with international standards, including:

(1) BS 5229: 1975 (1996) — Method for the assessment of pile yarn retention

(2) ISO 4919: 1978 — Determination of tuft or pile withdrawal force in carpets
