Micron Tester

Product Applications

- Cotton Planting: Used in cotton field management and yield assessment. - Cotton Procurement: Facilitates quality evaluation during cotton purchase. - Cotton Spinning Quality Control: Ensures yarn quality by testing raw cotton maturity.

Testing Principle

The instrument employs the airflow method to determine the micronaire value (cotton maturity index). By applying controlled air pressure to a cotton sample, differences in air permeability due to varying fiber fineness are measured. This allows accurate calculation of the micronaire value, correlating with cotton maturity and quality.

Compliant Standards

- GB 1103-2007: China’s national standard for cotton micronaire value determination. - ASTM D1448: International standard for cotton maturity testing via air permeability. - BS 3181: British standard for textile material testing methodologies. - ISO 2403: Global benchmark for cotton quality assessment procedures.
