Uster Tensorapid 5-C is the universal tensile tester for staple and filament yarns. It is both accurate and flexible for the fast-moving and sensitive filament sector.
Overview
Universal – for staple and filament yarns
Yarns need to withstand tough conditions in downstream processes. Damaged or broken yarns will impact production efficiency. Accurate data on yarn strength and elongation are thus essential – and the Uster Tensorapid 5 provides exactly that, quickly and reliably.
In the fast-moving filament sector, new yarn variants and novel applications are constantly being developed. This is why a special approach is needed for strength testing and to ensure the right quality. The Uster Tensorapid 5-C features specially designed measurement values, adapted to the particular requirements of filament yarn producers.
Staple and filament yarn
Test speeds are infinitely adjustable between 50 and 5,000 mm/min.
Measuring heads for 500 N and 1500 N
Enormous testing capacity
The ability to load 40 test samples offers
enormous time savings – which is essential for POY yarns.
Special filament software
For measuring natural draw ratio, yield point, first break of force and elongation.
Wide range of testing methods and results
Testing methods:
Simple tensile testing, single yarn testing
Retardation, relaxation, force and elongation cycles
Fabric clamps for fabric testing
Finishing incomplete tests
In case of a problem during feeding, the test continues and the customer has the opportunity to repeat the missing position at a later stage.
