Purpose The structure of fiber tufts made by nipping a sliver composed of staples of an equal length has been analyzed with the following results:
(1) The fiber distribution in a sliver can be practically evaluated by using the value of
V{(WF; -WR; )/√<WF; +WR; >} where
Wr; : weight of the front tuft WR; : weight of the rear tuft
V: the variance
(2) The degree of fiber hooking in a sliver can be accurately measured by
E{(WF; -WR; )/(WF; +WR; )} where
E: the mean
(3) The short fiber content R in a staple diagram has a close correlation to
RI; and
RII; obtained by the fiber tuft method, as shown in the formulas R=12R
I; /(3+4R
I; ), R=3Rno-issue=869-870
