Abstract
The Favimat, a single fiber testing machine, is used to quantify the affects of cotton crimp on fibers from three samples consisting of cottons containing low, high, and ideal micronaire values for textile processing. In order to get a better representation of all fibers within these samples, the cotton is further divided into the Suter-Webb array length groups. Following cotton crimp image capturing, fiber fineness is determined by the vibroscope method. The mean values for these samples indicate that cotton containing more crimp in the fibers leads to larger elongation, force to break, linear density, tenacity. and work to rupture. The seven length groups from these cottons indicate that longer cotton fibers appear to contain more crimps per cm. The results suggest that the Favimat is satisfactory for measuring current and future cotton properties.
