Overview
Universal – for staple and filament yarns
Yarns need to withstand tough conditions in downstream processes. Damaged or broken yarns will ruin production efficiencies. Accurate data on yarn strength and elongation are essential – and Uster Tensorapid 5 provides exactly that, quickly and reliably.
Uster Tensorapid 5 is very flexible when it comes to measuring all kind of yarns: staple and filament types, cotton, synthetics and blends, linen, wool, slub and core-spun varieties.
Staple and filament yarn
Test speeds infinitely adjustable between 50 and 5000 mm/min
Measuring heads for 500 N and 1500 N
Test capacity of 40 samples per load
