Influence of
physical properties of Indian cottons on their bundle tenacity and strength
uniformity
The fibre bundle tenacity and
strength uniformity have been determined at 0, 1.6, 3.2, 4.8 and 6.4 mm gauge
lengths for some Indian cottons differing widely in physical characteristics.
The results show that the longer and finer cottons are more uniform in
strength. Significant positive correlation is found between bundle tenacity and
2.5% span length at higher gauge lengths, while linear density and fibre
maturity exhibit significant negative correlation with bundle tenacity at
higher gauge lengths.
