Wherever during processing, yarns and threads are subject to load, they should be checked by means of the yarn tensionmeter. This control should take place during spinning and winding, followed by check during warping, especially if high speed warping equipment is used, and during weft winding. On the latter especially, repeated checks of the yarn tension should be made. The tensions obviously depend on the material and the process.However as a good rule of thumb one can take 1/10 of the yarn weight in Deniers, for the mean graduation on the scale.
Operation: The ZIVY yarn tensionmeter is designed for single hand use. The thread runs over two rollers, which, to reduce the friction, are mounted on miniature roller bearings. Holding the instrument with the right hand, as shown on the illustration, the inner pulley is brought into contact with the yarn to be measured, keeping the yarn parallel to the lever on top of the instrument. The outer pulley is then pivoted to ist stop by depressing the lever. The inner pulley then takes a position which represents the balance between the tension of the yarn and the main calibration spring in the meter. This position, by means of a precision gear, is transmitted to the indicator hand which shows the yarn tension on the dial of the instrument. The reading is in grams. The maximum as well as the minimum tension should be read, the indicator hand following the periodic variations in the tension.
