A Comparison of Five Methods of Measuring Fineness of Cotton Fibers
1941
Grimes, Mary Anna
A comparison is made of five methods of determining the fine ness of the fibres of each of five cottons. The methods used are weight per inch; area of cross sections; and widths of fibres col lapsed, flooded with sodium hydroxide, and mercerized without tension. Identical fibres were used where methods permitted. It is concluded that small differences may not be determined with certainty but that wide differences in fineness may be de tected by any of these methods. It is suggested that the choice of method be made after deciding whether the area the fibre oc cupies or the quantity of material in the fibre is the information desired.
