Micron Tester

Product Applications

- **Cotton Planting**: Used in cotton field management and yield assessment.
- **Cotton Procurement**: Facilitates quality evaluation during cotton purchase.
- **Cotton Spinning Quality Control**: Ensures yarn quality by testing raw cotton maturity.

Testing Principle

The instrument employs the **airflow method** to determine the **micronaire value** (cotton maturity index). By applying controlled air pressure to a cotton sample, differences in air permeability due to varying fiber fineness are measured. This allows accurate calculation of the micronaire value, correlating with cotton maturity and quality.

Compliant Standards

- **GB 1103-2007**: China’s national standard for cotton micronaire value determination.
- **ASTM D1448**: International standard for cotton maturity testing via air permeability.
- **BS 3181**: British standard for textile material testing methodologies.
- **ISO 2403**: Global benchmark for cotton quality assessment procedures.

Key Technical Advantages

1. **Broad Measurement Range**
  - World’s widest airflow-based micronaire range: **2.0–7.5**
  - Covers 99% of commercial cotton varieties globally.

2. **Precision & Efficiency**
  - Accuracy: **±0.03 micronaire value** (under standard lab conditions)
  - Test time: **≤15 seconds** per sample

3. **User-Friendly Design**
