Utilizing the complete Fibrogram for fiber quality evaluation

In the textile industry, there are different types of machines that are able to assess the quality of fibers, with the most common being the high volume instrument (HVI). HVI systems take parallel bundles of fibers and report on the mean length and uniformity index of the bundle. However, there is very little data reported concerning individual fiber...

New Method for Identification of Cotton Contaminants with X-ray Microtomographic Image Analysis

As a natural fiber, cotton is subject to contamination from a variety of sources, including surrounding vegetation, insects, and materials involved in cotton harvesting and handling. The contaminants, which survive the ginning process, have a direct impact on the grade and, hence, the value of the cotton and its derivatives. It is at this stage in the...
