Abstract
Breaking load frequency distributions have been obtained at different test gauge lengths for several raw cottons differing in fiber cell wall maturity. The curve-fitting procedure for the analysis of the shape of observed breaking load histograms is described. The procedure yields several important parameters characterizing the raw cotton, such as the mean, mode, skewness, standard deviation, and the C. V. of breaking load. It is found that for all raw cottons, the observed breaking load distributions have a positive skew and are of β type. The effect of fiber maturity and the test gauge length on the shape of observed distributions has been analyzed. The effect of weak links on the variability of breaking load in raw cotton is discussed.
