A) Uster Testing from 20 Cones (for Uster, I.P.I and Hairiness)
Testing Modes: 20 Tests from each cone, So mean of 100 tests
B) Yarn Strength Testing from 10 Cones
For Utr 10 Cones /20 tests each on drafting speed of 5000 mm/Min.
For Utj 10 Cones/2000 single tests on drafting speed of 400 mm/Min.
C) C.S.P
D) T.M & T.P.I
E) Count Wrapping from 20 readings from 20 cones .
F) Classimat from 100 Kms of yarn following readings are taken
Short Thick (A1+B1+C1+D1)
Short Thick (A3+B3+C2+D2)
Long Thick (E+F+G)
Short Thin (H1)
Long Thin (H2+I1+I2)
G) Appearance Board from randomly selected cones.
• Results are compared with their regular results and shipment is allowed in case no major variation found.
