Description

The Yarn Twist Tester is a precision instrument designed to measure the number of twists in yarns—whether single, double, or plied. Twist is a critical factor influencing yarn strength, appearance, elasticity, and fabric performance, making this tester essential for textile production, R&D, and quality control.

This tester works on the untwist–retwist or direct counting method, providing accurate measurements of twist per inch (TPI) or twist per meter (TPM). It features adjustable tensioning, smooth rotation, and digital or analog counters, ensuring high precision and repeatability across different yarn types, including cotton, polyester, viscose, and blends.

The Yarn Twist Tester comes with a robust mechanical design, easy specimen clamping system, and motorized or manual operation options, depending on user requirements. It complies with international standards such as ASTM D1422, ASTM D1423, ISO 2061, and BS 2085, ensuring globally recognized accuracy.

Key Features:

• Determines twist per unit length in single or plied yarns

• Available in manual, motorized, or digital models

• Adjustable tension and rotation speed for precise control

• High-accuracy measurement with easy-to-read counter

• Conforms to ASTM, ISO, and BS standards

Applications:
Ideal for textile mills, spinning units, and testing laboratories to analyze yarn structure, strength, and uniformity, ensuring consistent quality in yarn production and fabric manufacturing.
