In-House Testing
Testing that brings certainty to every yarn we make
Advanced mechanical, thermal and process testing, integrated directly into TP’s development and production flow.
The role of testing at TP
Testing as the engine behind reliable yarn behaviour
Testing is woven into every stage of TP’s development process. In our dedicated lab, specialists analyse how yarns behave under load, friction, temperature and movement, conditions that mirror real applications across all industries.
Because many TP yarns are custom-engineered, every test is designed to verify whether the yarn meets the exact performance criteria defined during development. This includes mechanical behaviour, process stability and long-term durability under the stresses the customer’s product will encounter.
The insights gained feed directly into engineering and production, creating a continuous loop of refinement. As a result, every yarn is validated against its unique requirements before it enters full-scale manufacturing.
The role of testing at TP
High-precision testing technology built for technical fibres
Our in-house testing environment combines mechanical, thermal and process-specific equipment, giving us the ability to evaluate yarns under conditions that match their intended use.
Tensile testing systems (Instron)
- Measures tensile strength, elongation, and stress behaviour
- Customisable test setups for different yarn types and constructions
- Real-time data capture for accurate performance validation
Abrasion testing equipment
- Simulates wear under controlled mechanical stress
- Evaluates yarn durability over extended use
- Compares performance before and after coating or finishing
Twist, construction & dimensional testing
- Verifies twist levels, ply construction, and yarn uniformity
- Confirms dimensional stability and consistency
- Ensures compliance with customer specifications
Specialised quality-control tools
- Supports application-specific performance assessment
- Enables comparative testing between constructions or finishes
- Ensures traceability across batches and production runs
How we test
How we turn performance into measurable insight
1.
Specification-driven testing
- Tests are aligned with customer-specific requirements
- Performance targets are defined, documented, and validated
- Results are benchmarked against agreed specifications
2.
Process-integrated quality control
- Testing is conducted during and after production
- Immediate feedback allows fast adjustments if needed
- Prevents deviations before they impact final quality
3.
Application-focused validation
- Performance is assessed under realistic conditions
- Coatings and finishes are tested for measurable improvement
- Results support confident material and design decisions
Test results & data
Data that builds confidence in every batch
- Tensile strength and elongation results
- Abrasion resistance and durability data
- Performance comparison before and after coating
- Batch consistency and repeatability records
- Specification compliance and validation reports
