Optical Fibre Diameter Analyser (OFDA)

Fleece testing accuracy improves with increasing fibre count. For example, the difference between a 1% coarse fibre and a 2% coarse fibre with 1000 fibres is only 20 fibres. This is why the RFTS tests 4000 fibres per sample.

The Optical Fibre Diameter Analyser (OFDA):

is the very latest in Australian fibre testing technology
is IWTO Full Test Method 47 Approved
measures from 4 to 300µm
measures fibre curvature from 0 to 360 degrees per millimetre (deg/mm)
scans the whole of the sample
measures up to 12,000 fibres per minute
is installed in 22 countries around the world
measures wool, cashmere, mohair, alpaca
measures medullated or hollow fibres

OFDA has no equal - it is simply the most accurate.
