Design and Development of an Innovative Test Device Capable of Automatically Performing Carpet Static Loading Tests

The resistance of carpets to texture deformation is considered one the most important properties that affects quality carpet. Static load an essential factor has a profound impact on causing compression carpet pile yarns. Mainly, two tests are available determine compressibility and resilience performance carpets, namely thickness loss after brief moderate static loading prolonged heavy loading. Currently, commercially test devices have drawbacks, including requirement for additional apparatus performance, conducting manually which leads personal faults, inability storing data. In this study, newly developed device measuring was designed manufactured. statistically verified capable performing measurement, automatically.
