Development of Measuring Device of State of Cooked Cocoons by Cocoon Filaments' Peeling Tension

Abstract

In order to determine the state of finish of cooked cocoons in the silk reeling procss, the authors conducted research on a method to evaluate the state of cooked cocoons by a simulation detecting the points of high tension force occurring unexpectedly in the dispersion of cocoon filaments' peeling tension as pulses. On the basis of the simulatioion, a measuring device was developed, and a study was done on the relationship between the distribution of pulses and the state of cooked cocoons and reelability of cocoons. The authors confirmed that this measuring device could be usable as one of the methods for determining the state of cooked cocoons in the silk reeling process.
