I.    Fiber Physical Testing Equipment
   
1. AFIS Autojet w/AFIS L&M (length and maturity) and AFIS T (trash)

     2. Peyer AL101 fiber length characterization unit

     3. Lenzing Vibrascope (denier measurement)

     4. Stelometer

     5. Sheffield micronaire testing device

     6. Two technician InfraAlyzer 450's. Near-infrared testing device for cotton-polyster
                blends, cotton maturity, and cotton sugar level

     7. NIRSystems 6500. High-quality near-infrared testing device for research                 
                applications of NIR Spectro.

     8. Silver Analyzer

     9. Draftometer. Two models available. One is for roving w/stripchart. 
            The second is for roving or silver and needs a computer with
            A-to-D board and appropriate software for data collection and
            processing.

II. Yarn Physical Testing Equipment
   
1. Uster Tensojet 4

      2. Package performance analyzer

      3. Sheath-core permenance core-spun yarn testing device

      4. Statimat II (useful for parts only)

      5. HM Morgan Co. Dynamic Modulus tester PPM-5R

      6. ScottJ CRT tensile testing device. Can also be use for fabric tensile
            and ball-burst.

      7. Skien winder

      8. Yarn appearance winding frame

      9. Uster Classimat III w/ 6-position winder

      10. Zweigle D565 hairiness testing device

      11. Zweigle yarn twist measuring device

      12. Branca twist tester

      13. Lawson-Hemphill constant tension transport (CTT) yarn testing
                frame. Attachments include camera for optical yarn profiling, a
                lint-shedding attachment, a yarn-to-metal friction testing
                attachment, and software for yarn-profiling, dynamic tensile
                testing, and optical defect counts. Ideal for development of
                many customized yarn or tape teste.

      14. Cyros II fabric simulation software. Requires the optical yarn
                profiling capability of the Lawson-Hemphill CTT device.
                Includes a Silicon Graphics O2 Workstation and monitor.
