Flock Shape
The system was developed to measure a flock sample according to various criteria within a very short time. Here, the flock fibers are measured for their diameter and length by means of quantitative image analysis. For the thickness and length measurement only those fibers are considered which are recognized as single fibers. The thickness and length distribution of the measured fibers is displayed graphically.
In addition, the number of all existing fibers is determined during the same measuring process in order to mathematically determine the existing weight of the entire flock sample. This function is particularly interesting with regard to a residual flock analysis on flocked parts.
The measuring system consists of:
