 YARN STRENGTH

In order to calculate the combined strength effect of the yarn,

the count lea strength product (CLSP) of the yarn is calculated. A lea of
120 yards is made using the wrapping reel, and the weight of the lea is
determined in order to calculate the yarn count by using the formula:
number of hanks/pound.

Two types of yarn strength are carried out :

1. Test on single lengths of yarn
2. Test on hanks or skeins of yarn
 SINGLE YARN STRENGTH

• Automatic Single Yarn Strength Tester, to determine the

breaking strength and elongation rate of single yarn made of
cotton, wool, and others up to 6000cN, with air-driven
clamps. Fully automatically test up to 20 cops at the same
time.

• The instrument is suitable for all yarns except glass yarn,

elastic yarn, aramid yarn, ceramic yarn, carbon fiber, and
polyvinyl flat yarn. It can be used to test yarns taken from
packages, and by agreement, it can be used to test the
remove yarns from fabrics.
 SINGLE YARN STRENGTH (TEST STEP)

• This function should be performed regularly or when the instrument

force value is biased. Steps are as follows:
• 1 The instrument needs 30min for a warm-up after turning on and
make the amplifier temperature to reach the normal operating
temperature.
• 2 Select “Force Calibration” to enter the calibration interface.
• 3 Move the cursor to “0” and press “confirm” to read the base.
• 4 Hang 1000cN weight, move the cursor to “Full” and press
“confirm”, and there is “1000+base” in parentheses.
• 5 Move the cursor to “Calibration” and press “confirm”, the right side
of “calibration” is “1000”. Please repeat the steps as above when
there is a difference.
 SKEIN METHOD

• This method involves the reeling of the yarn onto

a skein more commonly known as a lea through a
wrapping reel, which is used for measuring linear
density, the two loose ends being tied together. This lea is
mounted on two jaws of a tensile strength tester.
