35 The distances between the nips of successive pairs of the drafting rollers
is depend on effective length
36 Short fibres are considered while finding the effective length on comb
sorter diagram
37 One of the drawback of comb sorter is that it ignored the fiber extent
38 Weight based sort diagram has a notably higher curve compared with
the numerical diagram, because long fibers have more mass than short
fibers and therefore a greater effect
39 The weight-based comb sorter diagram corresponds to the distribution
of fibers in the yarn cross-section
40 In case of natural fibre, rectangular shaped sorter diagram is possible
41 Ideal fibers should be of equal length and without any length variations
42 The Fibrogram corresponds to the arrangement of fibers at the nip line
of rollers
43 Measurement of fibre extent is more desirable as compare to measuring
the length of straight fibre
44 USTER stapler use the thickness gauge method
45 Fibrograph works on capacitance principle
46 In fibrograph, longer fibres has greater chance to get catch
47 The term span length is used in when analyzing the comb sorter diagram
48 2.5% span length is considered to correlate with the classers staple
length
49 Cotton fibre having nearly the same mean fibre length can have different
percentage of short fibre
50 Dispersion percentage is one the method to express fibre length
variation
51 Length uniformity index of cotton fiber will always be less than 100
