Vertical Wicking Tester

The Vertical Wicking Tester is designed to measure the vertical wicking distance and rate of fabrics accurately. By immersing vertically aligned fabric samples into water, this tester evaluates how quickly and efficiently a material absorbs and transports moisture, providing critical data for textile quality control and research. It is suitable for woven, knitted, and nonwoven fabrics, and supports testing according to standards like AATCC 197 and FZ/T 01071. Compact and reliable, it is an essential instrument for laboratories and manufacturers focused on performance textiles such as sportswear, activewear, and moisture-wicking fabrics.
