Mechanical Yarn Count Balance

Mekanik İplik Numara Terazisi

A mechanical quadrant (Knowles-type) balance for yarn count assessment. Sample length and count unit are selected to match the balance scale. Sample preparation and weighing requirements for the ISO 2060 skein method must be verified separately.

Model technical data

  • Mechanical pointer-type yarn count balance.
  • Direct-reading systems: tex, denier, Nm and NeC.
  • No battery or electrical supply required.
  • A defined-length, conditioned skein is used for the measurement.

Physical specifications and utilities

Electrical supplyNo battery or electrical supply required.
Power / connected loadApprox. 0 W connected load for preliminary planning.
Overall instrument dimensionsApprox. 400 × 250 × 400 mm (W × D × H).
Instrument weightApprox. 2–5 kg net.
Gross / shipping weightApprox. 4.2–8.2 kg gross; estimated packing allowance.
Lab requirementsLevel, stable working surface; specimen conditioning follows the selected method.

Dimension order and approximate values are stated in each row. Packaging data are separate from instrument dimensions and net mass. Approx. rows are preliminary engineering estimates based on comparable equipment and function/capacity; they are not verified manufacturing measurements or standard requirements. Installation and shipment are finalised against the approved drawing and nameplate. Estimate scope: base product / one unit; external computer, bench and auxiliary plant excluded.

Specifications, dimensions, and power requirements are approximate and subject to change without prior notice for continuous design improvements.

Product technical specifications and images may vary according to manufacturing conditions and applicable standards.

Test and configuration

Measured output / function
Linear density or yarn count (tex, den, Nm, Ne)
Parameters selected for the method
Skein length, mass and selected count system
Verification points
Reel circumference, turn count and balance

Listed methods are application references. Suitability is established by assessing the selected hardware, current method and calibration together.

Test parameters for the reviewed method

Values belong to the stated source edition. Test recipe, fixture and delivered instrument configuration are selected together.

ISO 2060:1994 · 5.1 / Ek A

  • Recommended reel circumference: 1.000 m ± 2.5 mm.
  • Pretension with positive feed: 0.5 ± 0.1 cN/tex.

Control and recording specification

The following are method-specific software/recording requirements; delivered software modules are defined by the order scope.

  • The need for integrated software depends on the method and selected hardware; manual instruments use an external test record.
  • Method code and edition, specimen ID, operator and selected test parameters are linked to the record.
  • tex = 1000 × mass(g) / length(m); denier = 9000 × mass(g) / length(m).
  • Raw measurements, units, valid/invalid test flags and the reported result remain traceable.
  • Calculations are checked against known inputs and an independent calculation; sensor channels are checked against calibration values.
