Yarn Friction Meters
KFY-1091 / KFY-1092

Portable Yarn Friction Meter
KFY-1091
Friction and friction build-up cause yarn breaks as textile yarns come into contact with different surfac-es during the manufacturing processes. The interaction between yarn and the other elements such as guides, needles, and machine parts will cause friction. The Yarn Friction Meter is a small, hand held, portable instrument that measures the coefficient of friction very quickly and accurately. It provides feed-back on effects of wax, paraffin or sizing materials on the overall yarn friction values.

Drive unit for Yarn Friction Meter
KFY-1092
The drive unit transports yarn through the friction meter, converting it to a laboratory instrument. Fixed drive speed and variable yarn tension.
