Stelometer, For Lab Use

Stelometer is used to check for the possible adverse effects of certain fibre preparation methods and to ensure that the dyeing process does not harm the fibres. Fibre strength & elongation determine the “toughness” of a fibre: only a strong fibre can produce a strong yarn, and fibre that elongates under tension imparts a stretching quality to the finished fabric. So a measure of these two fibre characteristics is important to the yarn spinning industry. Since fibre strength & elongation helps to determine the quality of yarn and finished fabric, purchasers of fibre use the stelometer to measure two characteristics to ensure the quality of the fibre being bought. Researchers use stelometer strength and elongation measurements in their effort to develop stronger and more resilient cotton and animal fibres And man-made fibre producers use the same measurements as a part of their production and quality control procedures.
