About This Product
Textured yarns are crimped or curled so that they stretch and then recover. Crimp rigidity gives a measure of how well a textured yarn recovers from stretch. A skein of known strand count is hung in water with a major load, its length is read on a scale, and the load is then replaced by a minor load and the length is read again. The percentage reduction in length is used to calculate crimp rigidity. Students use the test to compare textured yarns.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Crimp Rigidity Tester measure?
It gives the crimp rigidity of a textured yarn, which is a measure of its ability to recover from stretch.
Q2. How is crimp rigidity determined?
By measuring the percentage reduction of length of a skein of yarn immersed in water when a minor load replaces a major load.
Q3. Which loads are used?
A major load of 0.1 g/denier/strand is used first and is then replaced by a minor load of 0.002 g/denier/strand.
