Overview
The HAIDA HD-D010 Automated Nonwoven Absorbency Tester is an engineered laboratory instrument designed for precise, repeatable quantification of liquid uptake behavior in nonwoven fabrics. It operates on standardized capillary absorption principles—measuring vertical wicking height over time, total liquid absorption mass, absorption onset and saturation timing, and derived wicking rate (mm/min). The system complies with internationally recognized textile testing protocols including GB/T 24218.6 (“Textiles — Test methods for nonwovens — Part 6: Determination of absorbency”) and FZ/T 64012.2 (“Spunlace nonwovens — Part 2: Hygienic roll goods”). Its architecture integrates gravimetric measurement with optical height tracking and programmable timing logic to eliminate operator-dependent variability in wettability assessment—a critical requirement for R&D validation, QC release testing, and regulatory documentation in hygiene product manufacturing.
Key Features
- 7-inch capacitive touch interface with dual-language (English/Chinese) menu navigation and real-time parameter configuration
- Integrated thermal printer for immediate hardcopy output of test reports—including timestamp, sample ID, measured parameters, and pass/fail status against user-defined thresholds
- High-stability load cell (±0.01 g resolution) coupled with linear-position optical encoder (±0.5 mm height accuracy) for synchronized mass and capillary rise measurement
- Fully automated test sequence: auto-initiation upon sample insertion, timed immersion, continuous height/mass logging at 0.5 s intervals, and automatic termination at user-specified duration or saturation criteria
- Corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel frame and fluid-contact components; compliant with ISO 9001-certified production environment standards
- Modular sample holder assembly accommodating standard 25 mm × 100 mm specimens, with interchangeable stainless-steel clamps and calibrated steel mesh supports for consistent fiber contact geometry
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The HD-D010 accommodates a broad spectrum of nonwoven substrate architectures—including spunbond, meltblown, needle-punched, and composite laminates—commonly used in medical gowns, surgical drapes, feminine hygiene pads, adult incontinence products, and wound care dressings. Sample thickness range: 0.1–5.0 mm; basis weight: 15–250 g/m². All test procedures align with the metrological traceability requirements of GB/T 24218.6 and FZ/T 64012.2, ensuring data acceptability in GLP-compliant laboratories and premarket submissions to Chinese NMPA and ASEAN health authorities. While not FDA 21 CFR Part 11–validated out-of-the-box, audit-ready electronic records can be exported in CSV and PDF formats with full metadata (operator ID, calibration log ID, environmental conditions).
Software & Data Management
The embedded firmware supports configurable test profiles (e.g., distilled water, saline solution, synthetic urine per ASTM F2715), customizable reporting templates, and internal storage of up to 500 test records with timestamped metadata. Data export via USB port enables integration into LIMS environments or statistical process control (SPC) platforms. Audit trail functionality logs all parameter modifications, test initiations, and calibration events—meeting minimum documentation expectations under ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Clause 7.7 (Control of Records). Optional PC-based software (HAIDA AbsorbSoft v3.2) provides advanced curve fitting (exponential wicking models), comparative trend analysis across batches, and automated compliance flagging against specification limits.
Applications
- Quantitative evaluation of surfactant-treated vs. untreated nonwovens for differential wicking kinetics
- Batch-to-batch consistency verification during high-volume production of sanitary napkin topsheets
- Accelerated aging studies correlating absorbency decay with hydrolytic degradation in biodegradable PLA-based nonwovens
- Development screening of superabsorbent polymer (SAP)-integrated composites for incontinence briefs
- Root cause analysis of “strike-through” failures in surgical drape barrier layers via time-resolved absorption profiling
- Supporting technical documentation for CE marking under EU MDR Annex I General Safety and Performance Requirements (GSPR 10.2)
FAQ
What liquids can be tested besides water?
Distilled water, 0.9% NaCl solution, synthetic urine (ASTM F2715 formulation), and buffered saline are routinely validated. Viscosity must remain below 5 mPa·s to ensure laminar capillary flow assumptions hold.
Is calibration traceable to national standards?
Yes—load cell calibration is performed using certified weights (NIST-traceable 100 g reference mass included); height encoder is factory-aligned to ISO 17025-accredited dimensional standards.
Can the instrument operate unattended overnight?
Yes—automatic shutdown after final report generation and thermal printer cooldown ensures safe extended operation without supervision.
Does it support multi-specimen sequential testing?
Not natively; each test cycle requires manual specimen replacement. However, the intuitive UI reduces average setup time to <90 seconds per sample.
Are consumables included in the base configuration?
Two organic solvent-compatible acrylic containers, two stainless-steel sample clamps, two applicator rods, one steel mesh grid, and two 100 g calibration weights are supplied as standard. Replacement containers and clamps are available as spare parts (P/N: HD-ACC-001, HD-CLAMP-002).
