Next Generation Fiber Length Measurement

The next generation fibre size analyser has been developed in Kajaani based on over 15 years experience in fibre measurement. This new FiberLab-analyser can measure fibre length both along the fibre centre line and as projected. The cross-sectional measurements of fibre are in principle similar to the earlier version FiberLab. Measured data are generally displayed in distributions. Some new calculations have been added, for example the fibres cross sectional area and fibre volume index both available as distributions as well. The performance of the FiberLab measurement is verified against the manual microscopic testing. These tests show that the new image analysis-based measurement well matches with the manual methods.
