ISO 9950:1995 is officially titled:
"Textile machinery and accessories — Flatbed dyeing, printing and finishing machines — Determination of temperature uniformity"
The standard outlines the procedures for measuring temperature uniformity on the surface of flatbed dyeing, printing, or finishing machines, especially those used in:
🌈 Textile dyeing and color fixation
🧵 Pigment and reactive printing
♻️ Heat setting and drying processes
This test method ensures the temperature across the flatbed is within acceptable variation limits, reducing issues such as uneven dyeing, inconsistent curing, or fabric distortion.
Temperature inconsistency across dyeing or printing machines can lead to:
ISO 9950 helps textile producers maintain strict temperature control and quality assurance, especially important in mass production and export compliance.
Implementing ISO 9950 ensures optimal heat control and dyeing consistency:
🌡️ Precision in Temperature Measurement
Offers a standardized method to assess temperature uniformity on flatbed machines.
🎯 Improved Color Accuracy
Reduces the chances of color variation or shade defects due to hot or cold spots.
🧾 Better Process Repeatability
Ensures every batch follows the same heat distribution pattern.
📉 Reduced Rework and Waste
Minimizes fabric loss and re-dyeing due to temperature-related defects.
🌍 Support for Export and Global Compliance
Meets buyer expectations for ISO-compliant textile processing standards.
