The curvature results for high crimped wool above around 85&nbsp;<sup>0<\/sup>\/mm have become higher when the curvature correction has been applied. This increase is typically of the order of 25 <sup>0<\/sup>\/mm and becomes larger as the uncorrected curvature becomes higher.<\/p>\n<p>We are working with other laboratories and Interwoollabs to resolve this issue.<\/p>\n<p>For further information, please view this <a href=\"index.php?option=com_edocman&amp;task=document.download&amp;id=552\">Fact Sheet &#8211; Adjustments to Fibre Curvature Measurement<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For further information please contact Mr. David Crowe by email&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:david.crowe@awta.com.au\">david.crowe@awta.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The graph below demonstrates the relationship between the NEW and OLD Curvature.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/app\/images\/images\/News\/FC2018.jpg\" alt=\"FC2018\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, AWTA Ltd\u2019s Raw Wool Laboratories completed a biennial re calibration of all LASERSCAN, OFDA and Airflow instruments as required by the International Wool T\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-2515","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/awtawooltesting.swim.net.au\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/2515","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/awtawooltesting.swim.net.au\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/awtawooltesting.swim.net.au\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/awtawooltesting.swim.net.au\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
