FACILITIES
The Pashmina Testing & Quality Certification Centre(PTQCC) is equipped with various testing equipment’s which are required for carrying of the testing certification and labelling. The centre has a acquired a State of Art equipment namely Optical fibre diameter analyser (OFDA-4000) which can accurately measure diameter, length and curvature(crimp) mean and distribution of various fibre types. The equipment can process thousands of fibre measurements per minute. The various equipment’s available at the Centre are
Scanning Electron Microscopy - SEM
High Resolution Digital Microscope
Optical Fibre Diameter Analyser. (OFDA)
Differential Scanning Calorimeter(DSC)
Automatic thickness gauge
Fiber/Yarn and Fabric Tests
- 1. Fiber/Yarn Diameter (Micron analysis)/ Purity test (OFDA 4000/Projection Microscope) per fiber type.
- 2. Wool adulterant verification for Pashmina fiber, on the basis of scale pattern & scale density.
- 3. Denier of fiber.
- 4. Moisture content of fiber/Yarn by Oven Drying.
- 5. Breaking strength and elongation at break for yarn.
- 6. Tenacity and extension at break for yarn.
- 7. Single yarn twist.
- 8. Resultant ply yarn twist.
- 9. Tear resistance of woven fabrics.
- 10. Pilling propensity tests for fabrics.
- 11. Abrasion Resistance tests for fabrics.
- 12. Thickness of Fabric.
- 13. Length and width.
- 14. Thread density [ends & picks].
