Fiber Quality Evaluation of Pakistan’s Locally Developed Cotton Varieties for Yarn Manufacturing

ABSTRACT

This paper discusses relation between fiber quality parameters and yarn quality, presenting results of the quality assessment of Pakistan’s five popular cotton varieties. Abadgar-901 was found to have highest effective length followed by Tarzen-1 when compared to other fibers studied and the Sattari showed the least effective length. Whereas, Tarzen-1 showed highest tenacity, Sindh-1 was second to that, yet Nayab-78 showed the least strength of the studied cotton fibers. Further, it was also found that except Nayab-78, all the other cotton varieties were found to have fineness value of premium cotton standards, however, Nayab proved to be a coarse fiber, Sindh-1 was finest fiber of them all. Moreover, Sattari was found to be the whitest in color when measured for CIE and Berger whiteness index, Nayab-78 followed it just after and the Abadgar proved to be the least white compared to the studied cotton varieties.

摘要

本文讨论了纤维品质参数与成纱质量的关系，提出了巴基斯坦五个棉花品种的品质评价结果。abadgar-901被发现具有最高的有效长度，其次是tarzen-1相比其他纤维的研究和Sattari表现出最小的有效长度。然而，tarzen-1显示最高的韧性，sindh-1是第二，但nayab-78表明研究棉纤维强度最小。此外，还发现，除了nayab-78，所有其他品种有优质棉标准，细度值，然而，Nayab被证明是一个粗纤维，sindh-1是最好的纤维都。此外，Sattari被发现在颜色雪白当测量CIE白度和伯杰，nayab-78跟着它刚刚和Abadgar证明相比，研究棉花品种是最白的。
