“…[ 14] (Figure 1 ). To perform these calibrations, two additional assumptions were needed: First, each fiber was assumed to exhibit linear load-elongation response from the displacement point where all crimp has been removed until it failed.…”

“…They reported that single fiber strength is significantly higher for long fibers than for short fibers sel8cted from the same cotton sample. More recently, Somashekhar et al [ 14] observed that single fiber breaking load histograms have a positive skew and are reasonably well represented by beta-type statistical distributions. They also reported that more immature cottons contain larger populations of weak fibers.…”

Measuring fiber strength in cotton encompasses sampling, fiber preparation, and bundle clamping. The precision of the measurement is a function of these steps as well as the precision of measuring the force and mass of each bundle under test. A detailed analysis of each step in the tenacity testing sequence is presented here. Com parisons between newly developed high volume instruments and conventional methods (Pressley and Stelometer) show that the conventional methods are biased toward the long, strong fibers in a cotton, whereas the high speed instruments use less accurate, indirect methods to measure bundle mass and produce a force measurement that is confounded by differences in fiber crimp.

SynopsisAnalysis of the frequency distributions of breaking load, tenacity, and ratio of cell wall thickness to ribbon width (CIR) for single cotton fibers in this study has indicated that they can all be represented by &distributions. This suggests that a parallel model of element configurations exists in which there is a uniform distribution of elemental strengths in single cotton fibers before as well as after slack mercerization. In the case of breaking load and tenacity, the distributions are positively skewed and the skewness decreases on slack mercerization, suggesting that quite a few potentially weak places have been either completely removed or at least strengthened. The changes in CIR ratio on slack mercerization for cottons having a range of maturity have been examined and discussed. The dependence of properties such as breaking load, tenacity, and linear density on cell wall to ribbon width ratio (CIR) have also been studied.
