Uster UT-4/6 %CV Sliver ~ $50 / Yarn ~ $80 / Roving ~ $80
Determines the number of imperfections in a yarn. It provides statistical evaluations of polyester blended yarns for classification of evenness, thickness, thinness as well as neps.
Uster Tensojet ~ $80/sample
This test detects seldom-occurring yarn faults or isolated weak spots with multiple breaks. Also provides information on yarn strength, elongation and tenacity.
Twist per Inch-Plied ~ $42/sample
(ASTM D1423) This test method covers the determination of the twist of the plied yarns and the twist of the single yarn before plying.
Staff Shedding Test ~ $45/sample
Measures the lint generated by action of yarn against yarn.
Skein Breaks ~ $50/sample
(ASTM D1578) This test covers the determination of the breaking strength of yarn in skein form. The observed breaking strength is expressed in units of force, and equations are provided to convert breaking strength to skein breaking tenacity and to skein break factor.
Short Length Denier ~ $50/sample
(ASTM D1059) – This test method covers the determination of the yarn number taken from any textile fabrics in which the yarns are intact and can be removed in measurable lengths. Because this method is based on short-length specimens, the results should only be considered as approximations of the yarn number.
Instron Yarn Breaks single end (n=10) – Cost: $55.00
(ASTM D2256) This test conditions for determining the tensile properties of yarns using the single strand method.
Coefficient Friction ~ $45/6 bobbins
(ASTM D2259) Is used for the dynamic measurement of the surface friction of single and plied yarns on the principle of linear friction.
Boiling Water Shrinkage ~ $55/sample
(ASTM D2259) This test method covers the measurement of shrinkage of yarns that has been exposed to boiling water. Skeins are made from yarn and immersed into boiling water. Skeins are reconditioned and measured for shrinkage.
Classifaullt ~ $45/6 bobbins
This method measures the quality of the yarn. It counts and classifies the faults into selected categories.
Hot Air Shrinkage ~ $55/sample
(ASTM D2259) This test method covers the measurement of shrinkage of yarns that has been exposed to hot air. Skeins are made from yarn and exposed to dry heat. Skeins are reconditioned and measured for shrink- age.
Node Count ~ $50/sample
This method determines a node count in a filament yarn.
SDL Break Tester~ $45/sample
Spinning Process ID ~ $25/sample
Determine how the yarn is spun. Ring, Open End or Air Jet.
Statimat ~ $80/6 bobbins
(ASTM D2256) This test method covers the determination of tensile properties of monofilament, multifilament, and spun yarns.
Twist per Inch-Singles ~ $40/sample
(ASTM D1423) This test method covers the determination of the amount and direction of twist at the completion of any stage of twisting in single (spun or filament) yarns.
Uster Tensorapid ~ $80/sample
This test detects seldom-occurring yarn faults or isolated weak spots with multiple breaks. Also provides information on yarn strength, elongation and tenacity.
Yarn Denier/Count ~ $15/sample (90 meter skein)
(ASTM D1059) This test covers the determination of the yarn number of all types of cotton, woolen, worsted, and man-made fiber yarns taken from packages; or from any textile fabrics in which the yarns are intact and can be removed in measurable lengths.
