Short Fibre Content and Uniformity Index in Cotton
Author: H. M. Behery
ISBN: 9780851987811
Pages: 48
Format: 22 X 30
Binding: Paperback
Pub. Year: 1993
Key Features
As a natural product, cotton poses challenges to modern, high-speed textile processing and manufacturing. It shows considerable variation in fiber length, and as fibers are liable to breakage during handling and processing, the amount of short fiber increases during manufacturing stages. Short fiber content and fiber length distribution are thus of major concern to cotton producers and processors. Indeed a substantial USDA research program has been devoted to the subject and resulted in the development of High Volume Instrumentation, to measure fiber strength, length and other factors. This publication provides a through review of this issue and is of interest to all concerned with cotton production and manufacturing.
