The Effect of Short Fibers in a Cotton on its Processing Efficiency and Product Quality
1960
Tallant, John D. | Fiori, Louis A. | Landstreet, Charles B.
The conclusions reached by means of miniature spinning techniques with very small samples of cotton were similar to those obtained in Part I : changes in short fiber con tent do not affect the twist required for maximum strength hut do lower strength some what more than 1% for each 1% increase in short fiber content. These samples covered an exceptionally wide range of short fiber contents, from less than 1% to almost 20% by weight of fibers 3 in. and shorter. The very low short fiber content cottons were produced hy careful hand ginning techniques while the re mainder were obtained by differential ginning techniques.
