Cigarette Draw Resistance Tester

The cigarette draw resistance tester is mainly used to detect the resistance generated by cigarettes during the smoking process.

Alkalmazandó szabványok:

ISO 6565

CORESTA Recommended Method No. 6

Various national standards (e.g., GB/T standards in China)

Product Advantages:

Objective Quality Control: Provides a precise, objective, and quantitative measure of a key sensory attribute, enabling stringent quality control during manufacturing.

Ensures Product Consistency: Helps manufacturers maintain uniform draw resistance across batches, which is crucial for brand consistency and consumer satisfaction.

Supports Research and Development: Allows researchers to evaluate the impact of design and material changes on airflow characteristics, facilitating product innovation.

Standard Compliance: Enables testing according to recognized international and national standards, essential for regulatory compliance and trade.

Rapid Measurement: Tests can typically be performed quickly, allowing for efficient testing of multiple samples.

Non-Destructive Testing (for unlit cigarettes): The standard test is performed on unlit cigarettes and does not alter the cigarette's structure in a way that prevents further analysis of other parameters.

Automated Operation: Many modern testers offer automated clamping, testing, and data processing, reducing operator variability and increasing throughput.

Working principle:

Use a high-precision pressure sensor to simulate the airflow speed of normal human smoking, let the airflow pass through the cigarette, and measure the pressure difference at both ends of the cigarette to determine the draw resistance value, usually in Pascal (Pa).

Structural composition:

It is generally composed of an airflow control system, a pressure measurement system, a data processing system, and a clamping device. The airflow control system can accurately control the airflow speed; the pressure measurement system is responsible for accurately measuring the pressure; the data processing system can quickly calculate and display the draw resistance data; the clamping device firmly fixes the cigarette to ensure the accuracy of the test.

Application scenario:

In tobacco production enterprises, it is a key equipment for quality control, which can be monitored in real time on the production line to ensure that the draw resistance of each cigarette is consistent; in the field of tobacco research, it helps to study the effects of different tobacco formulas, filter structures, and rolling processes on draw resistance, so as to develop products that meet consumers' smoking habits; in addition, in tobacco quality supervision and inspection agencies, it is used to conduct random inspections of cigarette products on the market to determine whether they meet relevant standards.
