CTT - Yarn Abrasion Tester

INTRODUCTION

The CTT Abrasion test measures the abrasiveness of the yarn while it is running under constant tension at test speeds up to 360m/min.

The yarn abrasiveness can be affected most notably by the fiber shape and the amount of the TiO2 on the yarn. If the yarn is really abrasive, the result will be frequent changes of the machine parts such as needles, yarn guides, which in return will increase spare part consumption and overall manufacturing cost.

In this test, the yarn will be running over a standard abrasion wire. When the wire breaks, the test stops. The amount of the yarn that is required to break the wire is noted and compared with other yarn abrasion test results. In this comparison test, the higher number indicates less abrasive yarn.

Tests

Measures abrasion from different processes to compare abrasion resistance between yarn types.
Determines effects of finishes, additives, and volume levels on abrasion.
Determines effects of trash content levels in cotton yarn on abrasion.

Advantages

Reduces component wear, such as threadguides, needles, and heddles to significantly reduce costs while improving quality. Proven performance has extended cycle time of machine components as much as 35% longer.

Endusers

R & D laboratories, quality control departments, yarn manufacturers
