Yarn Twist Tester
The Yarn Twist Tester is designed to measure the twist of yarns and determine related technical parameters, including twist direction and twist count. It is suitable for single yarns and plied yarns made from cotton, wool, silk, chemical fibers, and other textile materials.
The instrument supports different testing methods, including direct counting and untwist-retwist methods, depending on the selected configuration. Adjustable yarn tension, rotational speed, and specimen length help accommodate different yarn types and test requirements.
Depending on the model, the tester features a digital display for test results, twist values, and statistical data, with optional printer output for test reports. It is suitable for textile manufacturing, yarn inspection, laboratory testing, and quality control.
Application
(1) Cotton yarns and cotton-blend yarns.
(2) Wool yarns and wool-blend yarns.
(3) Silk yarns and chemical fiber yarns.
(4) Single yarns and plied yarns.
(5) Yarn twist direction and twist count determination.
(6) Textile production inspection and laboratory quality control.
(7) Yarn product development and comparative testing.
