Washmeter 38 allows performing colour fastness tests on fabrics, simulating both domestic and industrial washing with water or dry cleaning using diathermic liquids such as perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene. As a comprehensive colour fastness tester, it meets industry standards for accurate results.

The Washmeter 38 features a stainless steel tank designed to hold water or other diathermic liquids, reaching temperatures of up to 140°C.
The test temperature of the liquid for colour fastness cycles can be set via the HMI Touch screen.

A logic output controls the heating elements to maintain temperature regulation within ±1 °C, while a test bar graph on the touch screen displays the process status.

The device allows for simultaneous rotation of up to 4 stainless steel beakers of 1200 ml each or up to 8 beakers of 550 ml, ensuring thorough agitation during the colour fastness tests.

Included is a set of 100 steel balls to agitate the fabric during the wash fastness tests.

An acoustic beeper and an automatic stop feature are provided at the end of the test, making the Washmeter 38 a convenient colour fastness tester.

The choice between VITON or EPDM gasket types for the Washmeter 38 depends on the liquid used during the test, whether it is water or chemical agents.

For example, VITON seals are essential for dry cleaning with diathermic liquids, such as perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene solvents.
