Thermal shrinkage and shrinkage force -TST 510

Thermal Shrinkage Tester determines the thermal shrinkage and/or the shrinkage force, which is built up in yarns or tapes being heated to a preset defined temperature for a specified period of time.

TST 510 also offers the possibility of dynamic tests, during which the behaviour of the yarn is observed being exposed to a temperature ramp. After cooling the samples down to ambient temperature, a measurement of the residual shrinkage or shrinkage force is also possible.

Application: Textile, Yarns, Non-wovens & fibres
