Title:
Determination of the length of the cotton
fibres.
Objective:
To familiarize students about the
determination of cotton fibres.
Theory:
Fibre is the major unit of the fabric. To
make a fabric, first we have to determine the
strength, length and fineness of that fibres.
In this practical, we are going to find the
length of that fibres manually.
Apparatus:
oScale
oTuft of fibres
oPlace with Black background
Procedure:
1. First take a bundle of cotton fibre and
make a tuft of that fibres (almost 150
fibres).
2. Remove all short fibres.
3. After removing these fibres, take a
fibre from tuft and measure it.
4. Repeat this procedure almost 4 times
and then take average of this.
Calculations:
Length of first fibre= 2.8cm
// // 2nd // = 3cm
// // 3rd // = 3.2cm
// // 4th // = 3.1cm
// // 5th // = 2.9cm
Average= 2.8+3+3.2+3.1+2.9
5
= 2.42cm
Results:
The average of the fibre length is 2.42cm.
Conclusion:
For 5 times, the lengths of the fibres is taken
out and then the average value is determined
which is 2.42 cm.
