Abstract
The degree of porosity (degree of opening) of wool assemblies has a great deal to do with the machanism of practical processing. The author has made experimental measurements concerning the steeping process as an initial attempt to analyze the bearing which the degree of porosity of wool assemblies has on practical processing.
In both the flowing-out and steeping methods, steeping efficiency varies greatly with the degree of porosity. For the sake of high steeping efficiency, wool assemblies must be well-open_??_d before being fed to the steeping machine.
The following article is a sequel to the article, “Effect of Wool Porosity on Scouring and Drying Process: Part 1, ” Vol. 4, No. 1 (June 1958), pp. 17_??_23, of this journal.
