Fiber Breakage in Cotton Processing: Part I - A Model

Kearny Q. Robert and Lawrence J. Blanchard


 
ABSTRACT

A technique for interpreting quantitative measurements of fiber length distribution is demonstrated on cotton samples taken before and after a single mechanical processing stage. Theoretical methods are used to relate the observed change in length distribution to the fundamental nature of the breakage mechanism inherent in the process. This technique is demonstrated with length data derived from the Peyer Fibroliner/Almeter (FL-101/AL-101) instrument system.
