Electronic Lea Strength CSP Tester

The Electronic Lea Strength CSP Tester is a precision instrument designed to measure the peak breaking force and elongation of yarn in skein form (Lea). Built as a robust tabletop model with a rugged steel body, it operates on the Constant Rate of Extension (CRE) principle for consistent results. The tester features a microcomputer-controlled solid-state system with an alphanumeric backlit LCD, user-friendly menu, and selectable units for force (Lbf, Kgf, Nf) and elongation (mm, inch, %). Its maintenance-free inline drive system ensures quiet and reliable operation, while computer connectivity enables efficient data transfer and analysis. Compliant with ASTM D1578 and IS 1671 standards, it is ideal for textile labs and manufacturers.
