Laserscan™ is a laser based instrument for measuring fibre fineness. This is the most important characteristic in establishing the value of many natural fibres including wool, cashmere, alpaca, angora, and linen. It can also be used to measure synthetic fibres such as nylon and glass. Laserscan™ measures individual fibre snippets and produces accurate measurements with minimal sample preparation to obtain: Mean Fibre Diameter (in microns) Coefficient of Variation of Diameter (%), the Diameter Distribution Histogram (% of fibres in 1-micron class intervals) Fibre curvature in degrees/mm Comfort factor (% of fibres <30.5 microns for Wool) Sirolan Laserscan™ has full international Wool Textile Organisation Test Methods status (IWTO-12-00) and consequently results may be certified and applied in wool trading. Sample Preparation Laserscan has been designed to require minimal sample preparation to achieve maximum accuracy. Samples must be cut into approximately 2mm snippets before being entered into the Laserscan. There are two primary methods of preparing samples; 1. Use of a 2mm guillotine for tops, rovings or other carded fibres 2. Minicoring the sample CSIRO Snippet Cutter (Above)
