Textile hardness tester (durometer) to determine winding density of very loosely wound bobbins with thick yarns, such as carpet yarns
Indentor – ball diameter 10 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-10
• For bobbins with diameters over 400 mm use yarn package hardness tester HP-10-F with flat working face e.g warping beams
• Optionally available: Calibration certificate with calibration report
Standard Features
• High repeatability
• Easy to use
