H&H Dept commissions OFDA 4000 to boost pashmina testing in Kashmir

Capable of testing over 40,000 fibres in under a minute, the OFDA 4000 can determine fibre characteristics such as micron, length, and crimp. It is also able to test pashmina fibre, yarn, and fabric, making the testing process more efficient and accurate, said Indian media reports quoting the official statement of H&H Department of Kashmir.

OFDA 4000 is used in the textile industry to assess the quality and fineness of fibres, which is crucial for determining the value and grading of the pashmina products. It uses an optical system and image analysis software to measure fibre diameter accurately and rapidly, providing a non-destructive and reliable method for testing pashmina fibres.
