Determination of seam strength

See training

Determination of seam strength

The purpose of this test is to ensure that the STR does not tear along a seam. It simulates the behaviour of an STR on either side of a seam, either during seat assembly or when a person sits on the seat.

See training

Determination of tensile strength and elongation at break

See training

Determination of tensile strength and elongation at break

The purpose of this test is to ensure that the coated fabric is sufficiently durable during the manufacturing of the seat.

See training

Determination of the abrasion resistance of fabrics using the Martindale method

See training

Determination of the abrasion resistance of fabrics using the Martindale method

The purpose of this test is to evaluate the abrasion resistance of the textile fabric.

Determination of the efficacy threshold against Hylotrupes bajulus larvae (or house longhorn beetle)

See training

Determination of the efficacy threshold against Hylotrupes bajulus larvae (or house longhorn beetle)

Standard NF EN 47 describes a method for determining the effectiveness threshold of a wood preservative against Hylotrupes bajulus larvae (or house longhorn beetles) after they have been introduced into wood that has been previously treated by impregnation. The purpose of this test is to determine the effectiveness of a preventive treatment product against Hylotrupes bajulus. (Laboratory method)

Determination of the preventive efficacy of a wood protection treatment applied against fungal blue stain

See training

Determination of the preventive efficacy of a wood protection treatment applied against fungal blue stain

The NF EN152 standard aims to assess the effectiveness of a product, finish or product and finish system in protecting wood against blue stain fungi.

See training

Determination of the slip resistance of sewing threads in fabrics

See training

Determination of the slip resistance of sewing threads in fabrics

The purpose of this test is to ensure that the gap created by the shifting of the threads is less than a specified threshold. It simulates the spreading of the fabric threads on either side of a seam, either during seat assembly or when someone sits on the seat.

See training

Determination of the tear strength of crescent-shaped specimens (single-tear method)

See training

Determination of the tear strength of crescent-shaped specimens (single-tear method)

The purpose of this test is to ensure that the tear strength is sufficient to prevent the fabric from tearing during seat assembly due to the notches made during cutting.

See training

Determination of the tendency of fabrics to pill, fuzz, or mat on the surface – Part 2: Modified Martindale – resistance to pilling

See training

Determination of the tendency of fabrics to pill, fuzz, or mat on the surface – Part 2: Modified Martindale – resistance to pilling

The purpose of this test is to simulate the formation of pilling and fuzz on seats caused by friction from our clothing.

See training

Determining curative action against Hylotrupes bajulus larvae (or house longhorn beetles)

See training

Determining curative action against Hylotrupes bajulus larvae (or house longhorn beetles)

Standard NF EN 1390 describes a laboratory test method for assessing the curative effectiveness of wood preservatives against larvae of the house longhorn beetle Hylotrupes bajulus (laboratory method).

See training

Determining preventive action against newly hatched larvae of Hylotrupes bajulus (or house longhorn beetle) – Part 1

See training

Determining preventive action against newly hatched larvae of Hylotrupes bajulus (or house longhorn beetle) – Part 1

Part 1: Application by surface treatment. Standard NF EN 46-1 describes a method for assessing the preventive action of a wood preservative against newly hatched larvae of Hylotrupes bajulus when the product is applied to wood by surface treatment. (Laboratory method). Standard NF EN 46-2 describes a method for evaluating the preventive action of a wood preservative against Hylotrupes bajulus eggs when the product is applied to wood by surface treatment.

Determining the chemical composition of biomass

See training

Determining the chemical composition of biomass

The aim of this test is to determine the chemical composition of biomass through the proportions of the main constituent families.
