True Short Fiber Content: Complete Fiber Length Distributions from Tapered Beards

Yupeng Zhang, C. Kyle Shofner, and Frederick M. Shofner

ABSTRACT

Market needs, design objectives, principles of measurement and test results are given for a new, image-based method for measuring the important fiber quality of length. The complete fiber length distribution of a new form of tapered beard sample is provided, from which "true" long fiber content, LFC, and "true" short fiber content data products, SFC, are determined. These new length measurement technologies enable significant improvements in accuracy and precision and are part of the IsoTester® platform, a next generation high volume fiber quality testing instrument.
