About This Product
The number of threads per unit length is one of the most common measures of fabric quality. Picks run across the fabric in the weft direction, and ends run along the warp. A simple counting glass with a square or rectangular opening of specified size is used for routine counts, but a traverse thread counter is chosen when the weave is very fine or a more exact count is needed. A travelling microscope lets the user view the weave and count threads against openings of known width. Students use it to link thread count with fabric construction. School Lab Equipment India supplies the Traverse Thread Counter across India and can export it to Burkina Faso, Paraguay, Luxembourg, Turkmenistan and Suriname.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Traverse Thread Counter measure?
It counts the picks and ends of a fabric, which are the threads per unit length in the weft and warp directions.
Q2. When is it used instead of an ordinary counting glass?
It is used when greater accuracy in determining picks or ends is needed, or when the weave is too fine to be checked with an ordinary counting glass.
Q3. Can it count in metric and imperial units?
Yes. Openings of known widths are provided so that picks and ends per unit length can be determined in both metric and imperial systems.
