Micronaire Module

Micronaire is measured by relating air flow resistance to the specific
surface of fibers.

An air stream is passed through a known mass of fiber confined in a
chamber of fixed volume.

The pressure differential across the chamber is then related to the
specific surface of the fiber to determine the micronaire value for cotton.

•

A precision electronic balance is provided to weigh the cotton
sample.

•

The balance is protected by an acrylic guard.

•

Once the cotton sample is weighed, it is placed in the micronaire
chamber (located below the balance) and tested for micronaire
measurements.
