Premier
aQura is an instrument for accurate measurement of neps
and short fibre content in cotton samples. It provides
a reliable estimate of the nep content by testing a
sample of 5 to 10 grams within 3 minutes. A patented
high speed AMI - Aero Mechanical Individualiser gently
individualises the cotton fibres, which are then attenuated
and presented to a sophisticated LASER beam for nep
measurement. Information on neps provided by aQura include
classification based on size and categorisation into
seed coat and fibre neps. Premier aQura measures Short
Fibre Content and other length characteristics from
an end aligned sample. The reference length for determining
the short fibre content is variable and can be configured
by the user. |
