HVI in implementation of internet technologies for providing quality of textile articles

Abstract

A computerized flow of unified information on textile raw material is able to reach the world commodity exchanges within the shortest possible time, actively influence promotion of new products to the market and price-formation processes owing to implementation of Internet technologies. Cotton of new breeds of cotton plant and fiber of a new breed of textile hemp has been used for investigation. The comparative assessment of fiber has been performed using the methods of national standards UzRST (GOST) and computerized Spinlab HVI 900. The national standards of cotton quality are informative, but labor-intensive and related to equipment, which is not computerized. The assessment of quality fiber of cotton plant breeds and the hemp ones testifies to the fact that Spinlab HVI 900 characterizes peculiarities of different fibers. The availability of the unified HVI technology integrated into Internet is of crucial significance for a possibility of assessing the new product in the criteria of widespread raw material, and not only a cotton one. The investigations of hemp fiber have demonstrated that the raw material features UHML length comparable with fine-fibrous cotton (36.8–37.4 mm) with uniformity along the length of Un up to 77.6. The strength of such fiber is high — up to 43.5. It is evident for the consumers of different countries that the hemp fiber is suitable for blended spinning with cotton using the widespread cotton-processing equipment. The fiber quality information in digitized form can be promptly transmitted and analyzed globally for production and commercial purposes. It increases the capabilities of qualitative assessment of some fiber examples with the prospects of dynamic provision of information from the unit laboratory to the world market through implementation of Internet technologies.
