The Course Length Tester is used to accurately determine the length of a complete course of knitted fabric. The yarn is attached to the clamp and wound around pulleys. The length shown on the ruler by the weighted clamp is then added to the length indicated at the appropriate location in use to determine the total length of yarn.
Course Length Range: 50-900 cm (2-36 inches).
Standards

What is Loop Length?
A loop is the fundamental unit and key characteristic of knitted fabric. It consists of a three-degree bending curve made up of a circular column and an arc. The loop length refers to the yarn length of the knitted fabric and is measured in millimeters.
Importance of Course Length Measurement
The loop length determines the fabric’s density and significantly impacts its physical properties, including elasticity, extensibility, abrasion resistance, strength, dispersion, and pilling resistance. Coil length directly influences the knitted fabric’s density and overall quality. Uniformity in loop size is essential for consistent fabric quality, and checking the loop length regularly ensures that the fabric meets required quality standards.
Course Length Testing Process
Due to the unique nature of loops, they cannot be measured individually. Typically, the yarn length of 100 courses is measured, and the average value is calculated. While this testing method is simple, it is crucial to avoid pulling the yarn too tightly or too loosely. An appropriate object should be inserted into each yarn piece to minimize testing errors. The extension of the knitted yarn and the course arc can influence the test results. For a more intuitive understanding of the process, please refer to the instructional video or contact us directly for assistance.
