The Effect of the Short Fibers in a Cotton on Its Processing Efficiency and Product Quality

Tallant, John D. | Fiori, Louis A. | Alberson, David M. | Chapman, Walter E.
By differentially ginning a single lot of Acala 44 cotton, various short fiber content levels were obtained. Yarns produced from these cottons showed the effects of increases in short fiber content; namely, reduced strength, elongation, and appearance grade. The twist required for maximum strength was found to be largely unaffected by changes in short fiber content, except for a medium yarn number for which a relationship was demonstrated. A graph showing the close relationship between the percentage of fibers less than 3/8 in. and those less than 1/2 in., calculated for a wide number of cottons, is included. Spinning efficiency is shown to be adversely affected by changes in short fiber content.
