FX3250 Pick Counter II
Measures the thread density (“pick count”) of woven fabrics and wire meshes as well as the loop density of knitted fabrics. Hany pocket-size instrument. Worldwide unique.
Special features
- Extremely wide measuring range of 8 through 300/cm (20 through 762/in).
- Measuring accuracy better than ± 1 %.
- Measuring time less than 1 second.
- Handy pocket-size instrument, suitable for use in the laboratory as well as in the production area.

L 5700 Durometer
Measures the hardness of warp beams, yarn cheeses and fabric packages. Since for a given geometry the package hardness correlates rather well with the package density, the instrument is also well suited for determination of this important property.
Special features
- Large test body, cannot slip in-between the yarn windings.
- High measuring accuracy due to automatic averaging of two successive test results.
- Integrated alignment aid.
- Integrated pressure sensors.
- Extremely simple single-button operation.
- Calibratable.
