Aqua Lab 2450
Moisture content in fibres and yarns is of paramount importance in both textile trade and final product quality evaluation.
Moisture variation can lead to serious quality issues such as “barre’” defects, dimensional stability problems, etc.
AQUA-LAB is an innovative instrument for fast an accurate measurement of the moisture regain and moisture content in textile materials.
Its measurement speed allows HIGH VOLUME CONTROL OF MOISTURE throughout every stage of the textile chain increasing consequently the productivity & efficiency of the process as well as the final product quality.
The measurement principle of Aqua-Lab is based on an innovative low power resonance technology.
AQUA-LAB calibration algorithm associates the mass-independent microwave moisture values measured by AQUA-LAB with the moisture regain values measured by the drying oven (the only reference instrument for measuring the moisture content of textile fibers in accordance with ASTM D-2494, ASTM D-2495,
ISO 6741-1,2,3,4 and many others). Aqua-Lab absolute value correlation with the regain oven (drying system) make Aqua-Lab indispensable for commercial transactions, pricing management and QC monitoring.
Specific preset calibrations are available for different textile materials that the operator can easily select in the starting menu.
The complete AQUA-LAB code 2450 is equipped with two sensor, one for fibres (loose fibres, tops, slivers, etc) and one for yarn packages (cones,roving cops, etc). However, the system can be supplied equipped with one sensor only:
for fibres, code 2450A
for yarn packages, code 2450B
Ideal for Ginners, Top Makers, Spinning Mills, Wool Combers,
Yarn Buyers, Dyeing Mills, Textile Laboratories.
Main features:
Fast, a measurement takes only a few seconds.
High repeatability and reproducibility of results
Perfect correlation with oven-drying
Suitable for any textile fibre such (for example cotton, linen, wool, cashmere, viscose, silk, acrylic, synthetics as well as blends)
No sample weighing or preliminary preparation of the sample
Non-destructive method, no waste of material
Simple test execution which can be performed by unskilled personnel.
Results are not influenced by the weight of the sample, its dimensions, its density and environmental conditions (temperature and humidity)
