Textile hardness tester (durometer) to determine winding density of loosely wound bobbins of synthetic fibers and closely wound natural fibers, yarns and threads
Indentor – ball diameter 5 mm
The measuring force is according to shore A regulations
Durometer with curved working face for bobbins with diameter up to 400 mm
Special Features
• The spring loaded outer ring assures a constant measuring pressure and eliminates false readings due to difference between operators
• Ball shaped indentor prevents damage to bobbins
• Working face slightly curved to fit on small bobbins, working face radius 55 mm
• Adjustable Min./Max. indicator marks to highlight working range of the yarn package hardness tester HP-5
• For bobbins with diameters over 400 mm use yarn package hardness tester HP-5-F with flat working face e.g. warping beams
• Optionally available: Calibration certificate with calibration report
Standard Features
• High repeatability
• Easy to use
• Display range 0 – 100 hardness graduation marks
• Certificate of Compliance with the order 2.1 according EN 10204 is included
