A method has been suggested to utilize the Digital Fibrograph to derive an optical fineness coefficient, which would correlate very well with gravimetric fiber-fineness measurements. Regression equations have been worked out to predict equivalent values of linear density from measurement of the optical fineness coellicient. A comparative study has also been made of the extent of association of the respective Micronaire values as well as values of the optical fineness co efficient with actual gravimetric fineness measurements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
