Electronic Single Fiber Strength Meter

The Electronic Single Fiber Strength Meter is a precision instrument designed to measure the mechanical properties of single fibers, including breaking strength, elongation, and modulus. It integrates high-precision pneumatic clamps, microcomputer control, and real-time data acquisition to provide accurate, repeatable, and reliable fiber testing for research, quality control, and textile manufacturing applications.

Application

This instrument is widely used in:

Textile fiber research and development laboratories.

Quality control in cotton, wool, silk, synthetic, and specialty fiber production.

Determination of single fiber properties for spinning, yarn production, and composite materials.

Educational institutions for teaching fiber mechanical properties.

Textile testing agencies and standards compliance verification.

Parameters

Accessories

Standard package includes: main unit, pneumatic clamp set, power cable, printer, and user manual.

Optional software for enhanced data analysis and export.

Calibration fiber standards for routine verification.

Test Procedures

(1) Prepare and condition fiber samples according to standard requirements.

(2) Mount a single fiber in the pneumatic clamps.

(3) Set gauge length, tensile speed, and test mode on the LCD interface.

(4) Start the test and monitor the force-elongation curve.

(5) View results on the screen and/or print test report with tensile curve.

(6) Repeat for additional samples, storing data in memory as needed.

Maintenance

Regularly inspect and clean pneumatic clamps to prevent contamination.

Calibrate the force measurement system periodically using standard fibers.

Keep the instrument in a dust-free, dry environment.

Ensure stable AC power to prevent measurement errors.

Avoid mechanical shocks and handle the LCD and printer with care.
