Product Details
The FTT measures skin touch comfort objectively and quantitatively in one simple test.
In just a five minute test the FTT measures:
-
Thickness
-
Compression
-
Bending
-
Roughness
-
Friction
-
Thermal Properties
These provide 18 indices for each side of the fabric, in both warp and weft directions.

The comprehensive, sophisticated design of the FTT enables it to measure all the mechanical and surface properties of fabric in one simple test.
-
Smoothness
-
Softness
-
Warmth
-
Total Hand/Touch Feel

The movement of the upper and lower plates perform different measurements within the multiple modules of:
-
Thermal-Compression
-
Surface Friction
-
Roughness
-
Bending

Both sides of the L shaped sample are measured in order to provide a total comfort profile

Much as a spectrophotometer is used for color, the FTT can measure, communicate, and compare fabric hand through a global supply chain providing consistency among:
- Research & Development
- Designers
- Manufacturers
- Test Labs

With the QC Software, numeric difference are calculated between samples that can be visualized in a Radar Chart for quick reference
- Compare samples' Primary Sensor Indices (PSI) from FTT data
- User defined upper and lower PSI limits
- Quality Control PASS/FAIL based on tolerance
- Compare multiple fabrics
- Save results for distribution and comparison
Previously only possible on the very expensive and technically complicated Kawabata instruments, the FTT now makes hand measurement possible for everyone.
