MOISTURE-REGAIN TESTER FOR FIBRES & YARNS

AQUA-LAB Code 2450Moisture-Regain Tester for Fibres & YarnsDescription AQUA-LAB is an innovative instrument for a fast and accurate assessment of moisture regain and content in textile materials. AQUA-LAB measurement speed allows high volume control of moisture throughout every stage of the textile chain raising consequently the quality of the process and of the final product. AQUA-LAB speed and absolute correlation with the regain oven-drying system (the only Standard Reference instrument for moisture measurement in textiles) make it indispensable for commercial transactions and pricing management....

Measuring principle AQUA-LAB moisture measurement is based on an innovative microwave low power resonance technology, where the resonance field is characterized by specific parameters, depending on the amount of water contained in the tested material and independent from its mass/density (wet and dry materials have a different permittivity tipically ɛ’≈80 and ɛ’≈1,5-3). The instrument, whose components are shown in Fig.1, includes a sensor which is filled with the sample of which moisture regain and content are to be measured; this sensor, having a characteristic natural resonance in empty state,...

AQUA-LAB is recognized by the ITMF-ICCTM The ITMF International Committee on Cotton Testing Methods (iCCTM) gave full recognition to AQUA-LAB, during the ICCTM held in Bremen/Germany on March 18, 2014 at the start of the 32nd International Bremen Cotton Conference, as instrument that according to the ICCTM, is beneficial for the cotton value added chain: rapid measurement of moisture content and regain is useful throughout every stage in the cotton value chain to optimize yarn and fabric production and accurately determine values.
