Description

The Yarn Crimp Tester is a precision laboratory instrument designed to determine the crimp characteristics of yarns, including crimp percentage, recovery, and stretch behavior. It is widely used in textile testing laboratories, research centers, and production quality control departments to assess the physical structure and elasticity of textured, bulked, or blended yarns.

During testing, a yarn specimen is mounted under controlled tension and measured for its extended and relaxed lengths. The difference between these measurements provides the crimp percentage, which directly influences the fabric’s appearance, hand feel, and mechanical properties.

This tester features accurate tension control, digital length measurement, and smooth operation, ensuring repeatable and reliable test results. Built with a robust frame and easy-to-use controls, the Yarn Crimp Tester delivers high precision while meeting international textile testing standards such as ASTM D3937, ISO 5338, and BS 5226.

Key Features:

• Measures yarn crimp percentage, recovery, and stretch

• Digital or analog length measurement options

• Adjustable tension for precise testing conditions

• Durable construction for long-term laboratory use

• Conforms to ASTM, ISO, and BS standards

Applications:
Ideal for textile mills, yarn manufacturers, research institutions, and quality control labs to evaluate yarn texture, elasticity, and performance, ensuring product consistency and optimal fabric quality.
