Viscose fiber characterization

Fibre characterisation such as linear density, fibre strength or tenacity and elongation of staple fibres and filaments from viscose show the mechanical properties of the fibre.

Purpose

Offer 

RISE is equipped with two instruments for determining, among other things, linear density, fibre strength or tenacity and elongation of staple fibres and filaments from viscose. Spin studies based on viscose solution from dissolving cellulose, either manufactured in our pilots or delivered from customers, can be done in our spin pilot after which the final viscose fibre is characterised. The most common analysis is done on dry fibre, but wet fibre can also be analysed. 

Method

Method 

The instruments are partly a Vibrodyn 400 and partly a Vibroscope 400 from Lenzing Instruments. The determinations are based on the methods SS-EN ISO 5079, ISO 1973: 1995 (E) and ISO 1130-1975 (E).
