Cigarette Draw Resistance Tester

The Cigarette Draw Resistance Tester is designed to measure the airflow resistance encountered by a cigarette during the smoking process. By simulating normal smoking conditions, it provides precise and objective data that supports quality control, product development, and regulatory compliance in the tobacco industry.

Application

(1) Measurement of cigarette draw resistance for quality control during manufacturing.

(2) Evaluation of airflow characteristics for research and development of new tobacco blends, filter designs, and rolling processes.

(3) Random inspections by tobacco regulatory and inspection agencies to ensure products meet relevant standards.

(4) Monitoring and controlling batch-to-batch consistency of draw resistance in production lines.

(5) Verification of filter performance and ventilation design.

(6) Comparison of different cigarette types (e.g., king-size, slim, unfiltered) for sensory quality evaluation.

(7) Assessment of cigarette draw resistance in product optimization and consumer preference studies.

Standards

(1) ISO 6565 – Cigarettes — Determination of draw resistance.

(2) CORESTA Recommended Method No. 6 – International protocol for cigarette draw resistance testing.

(3) GB/T 33029 – China national standard for cigarette draw resistance.

(4) Other applicable national standards depending on the country of manufacture or sale.

Features

(1) Objective Measurement – Provides precise, quantitative evaluation of draw resistance.

(2) Rapid Testing – Average test time of 15 seconds per cigarette.

(3) Automated Operation – Many models offer automatic clamping, testing, and data processing.

(4) Non-Destructive Testing – Test performed on unlit cigarettes without altering their structure.

(5) Real-Time Data Display – Digital output for immediate analysis and quality monitoring.

(6) Versatile Application – Suitable for production, R&D, and regulatory inspections.

Test Procedures

(1) Place the unlit cigarette into the clamping device.

(2) Configure the airflow speed according to the selected standard.

(3) Initiate the test; the system measures the pressure difference across the cigarette.

(4) Data processing system calculates the draw resistance value in Pascal (Pa).

(5) Display results on the digital interface or export via USB.

(6) Repeat for multiple samples to ensure batch consistency.

Maintenance Information

(1) Clean test ports and clamps after each use to prevent residue buildup.

(2) Calibrate pressure sensors and airflow system regularly.

(3) Avoid exposure to excessive dust, moisture, or vibration.

(4) Check USB connectivity and software updates periodically.

(5) Inspect mechanical clamps for wear or damage to ensure accurate readings.
