Wool Fineness Analyzer

The Wool Fineness Analyzer measures wool fiber fineness using the airflow method. By forcing air through a measured mass of wool under controlled pressure, the instrument determines fiber diameter based on airflow resistance. It provides fast, accurate, and reproducible results, covering a wide range of wool types, including ultra-fine fibers. With USB connectivity and integrated software, results can be analyzed, reported, and exported in standard formats. The analyzer meets multiple international and national standards, ensuring reliability for research, quality control, and textile certification.

Application

Suitable for evaluating wool fiber fineness in tops, slivers, and washed wool, this analyzer is widely used in wool production, textile quality control, research laboratories, and certification bodies. Its broad measurement range (12–50 µm) allows testing of most wool types on the market, including ultra-fine fibers, while its one-button operation streamlines laboratory workflows.
