Comb Sorter Tester
The Comb Sorter Tester is a laboratory instrument used to determine the fibre length distribution of various textile fibres. Fibre length is one of the most important physical properties, as it directly influences spinning performance, yarn strength, uniformity, and overall fabric quality.
By manually combing and arranging fibres according to their length, the instrument helps calculate average fibre length and length distribution. Generally, fibres with a longer average length are preferred, as they provide better yarn strength, improved evenness, and reduced fibre loss during processing.
The Comb Sorter can be used for testing cotton, wool, viscose, polyester, and other staple fibres or yarns, making it an essential tool for textile laboratories, spinning mills, and research institutions.

Fibre Fineness Tester (Micronaire)
The Fibre Fineness Tester (Micronaire) is a specialized instrument used to evaluate the fineness and maturity of cotton fibres. It works by measuring the air permeability of a compressed fibre sample, providing quick and reliable results essential for textile quality control and fibre grading.
The instrument provides estimates of:
- Micronaire Value (Mc) – Indicates the combined effect of fibre fineness and maturity.
- Fineness – Expressed as weight per unit length (mtex-H).
- Percent Maturity (PM) – Determines the degree of fibre wall development.
Accurate micronaire testing is crucial for spinning performance, yarn quality, dye absorption, and overall fabric appearance. It is widely used by cotton ginners, textile mills, researchers, and fibre traders to ensure consistent raw material quality and optimal processing performance.

Stelometer Instrument
The Stelometer is a precision testing instrument used to measure the strength and elongation of textile fibres. It is widely used to evaluate the possible adverse effects of fibre preparation processes and to ensure that treatments such as dyeing do not weaken or damage the fibres.
Fibre strength and elongation together determine the overall “toughness” of a fibre. Strong fibres are essential for producing durable yarn, while fibres with appropriate elongation provide flexibility and stretch to the finished fabric. These two characteristics are critical quality parameters in the yarn spinning and textile industries.
Fibre purchasers use the Stelometer to assess strength and elongation to ensure consistent raw material quality. Researchers rely on it to develop stronger and more resilient cotton, animal, and man-made fibres, while fibre manufacturers use the instrument as part of their routine production quality control procedures.
