IMPROVING SHORT FIBER MEASUREMENT OF THE ADVANCED FIBER INFORMATION SYSTEM (AFIS)

Objective

Three levels of UHML and micronaire will be studied while attempting to maintain similar fiber strength and uniformity values. Ideally, cottons representing 1.00, .110, 1.20 UHML and 3.8, 4.4, 5.0 micronaire will be selected based on official USDA AMS classing data providing a range of length and micronaire. UHML and micronaire were chosen because they were shown to have the most significant relationship with AFIS short fiber content (SFC).
