The Uster Tensojet 5 is acknowledged not only as the industry’s ultimate Tensile tester but also a key element in the growth of a spinning mill’s profitability. With the launch of Uster Tensojet 5, the concept of Tensile testing is extended to provide a total package: precise measurement of a yarn’s strength, combined with reliable protection against quality claims based on accurate forecasts of performance in later processes.

For yarn producers both quality and performance are essential if they are to meet the continually rising demands of their customers in the weaving and knitting mills. Yarns must have the look, feel and functionality to satisfy these requirements.

Uster is committed to meeting the industry’s need for increasingly effective and accurate Tensile testing. For decades, Uster laboratory instruments have set the global standards for strength and elongation measurement of staple as well as filament, yarns. In 2018, a new generation has been launched. The Uster Tensorapid 5, the go-to tensile tester providing precise data, was introduced in March.

Minimum strength and elongation properties are needed to prevent a yarn breaking or being damaged in downstream operations as well as avoiding blemishes on end-products in weaving. Therefore, accurate Tensile-strength values are important, particularly for warp yarns, which are placed under tremendous stress.
