Beesley Balance / Yarn Count Tester i9 (Manual)

OVERVIEW - The count of yarn is defined as the fineness of the Yarn. In DIRECT SYSTEM, the count is the weight of a unit length of yarn. For example, "TEX" is number of grams in one-kilometer length of yarn. "DENIER" is number of grams in 9000 meters of yarn. In indirect system, the count is the number of unit of fixed length of yarn which makes a fixed weight: For example "COTTON" is number of hanks of yarn in a Pound, "METRIC" is number of kilometers of yarn in one kilogram. Irrespective of the system of count, two basic requirements for determining count are: a) An accurate determination of sample length, and b) An accurate determination of its Weight. The method of determination of count depends to a large extent on the form in which the yarn is available for testing. Yarn Count Tester is a simple Equipment used to determine the count of yarn directly and accurately. Paramount Yarn Count Tester i9™ is the latest model direct yarn count balance which has been completely redesigned. This latest ergonomic equipment consists of a light weight beam pivoted on jewel bearing with a suspender hook at one end and a pointer at the other. The beam is initially leveled with the help of the leveling screw to bring the pointer against a datum point. A calibrated rider is suspended in the slot provided on the beam. A template is used to size the length of the yarn (The Length depending upon the count system required). This number of sort lengths required to balance the beam gives the count of the yarn directly. A Template is provided to give lengths of yarn in METRIC, COTTON, LINEN, WOOL SKIEN, and WORSTED counts. The Balance is finished beautifully in Blue Powder Coated Paint.
