      How it Works (Simplified)

      1. Sample Preparation: Test specimens are prepared according to specific standard requirements (e.g., size, presence of adjacent fabrics).
      2. Chamber Loading: Samples are placed into individual test pots/chambers along with the prescribed solution (detergent, perspiration solution, water, etc.).
      3. Parameter Setting: The desired temperature, test duration, and other relevant parameters are set via the digital control panel.
      4. Testing Cycle: The machine heats the chambers to the set temperature and agitates/rotates the samples for the programmed duration, simulating real-world exposure.
      5. Assessment: After the test cycle, samples are removed, dried, and visually assessed against Gray Scales for Colour Change and Gray Scales for Staining to determine their fastness rating.
