Test method for yarn diameter
1. The optical projection method places the yarn under a microscope equipped with an eyepiece test ruler at about 100 times, or under a projector with the same magnification, with a predetermined tension, and after focusing, the projected shape of the yarn surface can be obtained. Determine the diameter standard after removing hairiness, randomly select detection points on the yarn at a certain interval, and after more than 300 observation values are obtained, the average value of the yarn diameter is calculated by statistical method. Due to the fuzzy characteristics of the yarn diameter boundary, the artificial definition of the yarn diameter to remove the fuzzy boundary of the yarn hairiness is affected by human subjective factors.
This method has human observation and visual error, but since the yarn has been magnified 100 times during the test, the accuracy of visual inspection has been improved, and the test results are still relatively correct. The disadvantage of this method is that there are many test points required for the sample, the operation is time-consuming and laborious, and the test efficiency is low.
2. Indirect calculation method Due to the shortcomings of measuring diameter by optical projection method, a diameter calculation method derived from the formula of yarn fineness is produced. Let the yarn be a cylinder, the length is L (mm), the weight is G (mg), and the cross-sectional area is S (mm)²), the volume weight isδ(g/cm³), the diameter is d (mm): the relationship between the diameter of the yarn and the yarn special number Nt, the metric count Nm, and the fineness D is: the volume weight of the yarnδIt is related to the nature of the fiber and the twist of the yarn. The common yarn volume weight values are shown in the table: if it is expressed by a general formula, the expression of the yarn diameter can be written as where Kd is called the yarn diameter coefficient in order to find a certain value. The diameter of a kind of yarn must be measured by its diameter coefficient. The diameter coefficient of the yarn is also determined by the optical projection method, so the direct calculation of the diameter is essentially an optical method test. The disadvantage of this method is that the yarn diameter coefficient Kd is related to the volume weight of the yarnδrelated. With different yarn varieties, different blending ratios and the emergence of new fibers, the volume weight of the yarn changes greatly, and the diameter calculated by the diameter coefficient of the yarn is greatly restricted.

Choosing the right abrasion testing equipment is essential for obtaining accurate and repeatable wear resistance results. DIN Abrasion Tester and Taber Abrasion Tester are two widely used abrasion testing machines, but they are designed for different material types and testing purposes.
This article provides a detailed comparison between DIN Abrasion Tester and Taber Abraser, covering their working principles, specimen requirements, industry applications, standard compliance, technical characteristics, operation features and practical advantages. DIN Abrasion Tester is mainly designed for rubber, elastic materials, tires, conveyor belts and footwear soles, while Taber Abrasion Tester is suitable for flat materials such as coatings, textiles, plastics, leather, metals and decorative surfaces.
By understanding the differences between these two abrasion testing methods, laboratories can select the most suitable abrasion tester based on sample geometry, testing standards and production quality control requirements.
Cut resistance is one of the most critical performance indicators in personal protective equipment (PPE) testing, directly affecting worker safety in high-risk industries such as metal processing, machinery manufacturing, and emergency rescue. The TDM Cut Test Machine GT-KC28 plays a vital role in accurately evaluating the cut resistance of PPE products, including gloves, protective clothing, footwear materials, composite materials, rubber, and industrial textiles.
By adopting high-precision force control systems, intelligent data processing, and stable transmission technology, the GT-KC28 TDM Cut Tester can accurately measure the critical cutting force of materials and ensure excellent repeatability and comparability of test results. Its user-friendly touch-screen operation, comprehensive data storage, USB data export, and built-in thermal printer greatly improve laboratory efficiency and data traceability.
The TDM Cut Test Machine GT-KC28 fully complies with major international and national standards such as ISO 13997, EN 388, ASTM F2992/F2992M, ANSI/ISEA 105, and GB 24541-2022, making it a reliable solution for PPE manufacturers, third-party testing laboratories, and research institutions. Through precise and standardized cut resistance testing, the GT-KC28 helps reduce industrial cutting injuries, supports PPE certification across global markets, and ensures that protective equipment delivers reliable safety performance in real-world applications.
