These We Can Select Desired Cotton

SITRA Has Introduced A Single Measure Known As

Fibre Quality Index (FQI)
In Order To Assess The Quality Characteristics Of The Cotton.

FQI =
LUSM/F
L

= 2.5% Span Length(mm).

= Uniformity Ratio In Fraction.

= Bundle Strength (g/tex) At 3mm Gauge Length.

= Fibre Fineness (micrograms/inch).

M=

Maturity Ratio.

Relationship Between FQI And CSP

It Is Derived By SITRA.

CSP = ( 310 Count )

FQI


Lea

CSP for carded count = 280 x SQRT(FQI) + 700 - 13C

Lea CSP for combed count = (280 x SQRT(FQI) + 700 - 13C)x(1+W)/100

where,

FQI

= LSM/F

L = 50% span length(mm).

S = bundle strength (g/tex ).

M = Maturity ratio measured by sherly FMT.

F = Fibre fineness (micrograms/inch).
C = yarn count.

W = comber waste%.

Span Length
When

A Certain % Of Fibres From The Original

Fibre Population Would Span When Caught At
Random Along Their Lenghts , Thus 2.5% Span
Length Is That Length Which 1/40th Of The
Fibres Would Span When Randomly Caught
Along Their Lenghts.

Maturity Coefficient

Maturity Coefficient = (M + 0.6H + 0.4

I)/100

M= Percentage Of Mature Fibres.

H = Percentage Of Half Mature Fibres.

I =Percentage Of Immature Fibres.

If maturity coefficient is

Less

Than 0.7, It Is Called As Immature Cotton.

Between

0.7 To 0.9, It Is Called As Medium Mature

Cotton.
Above

0.9, It Is Called As Mature Cotton.

Segregation
Definition :- It Means To Separate From Others Of The
Same Kind.

Use Of Segregation In Textiles

Any Mill Processes A Number Of Types Of Yarns Having Diff.

Brands, Blend Ratios, Dyeabilities , Count, Twist Levels, etc. So
To Prevent The Mix-up Of These Diff. Yarns We Required
Segregation.

Methods Of Segregation
There Are Two Basic Methods Of Segregation.
Colour

Coding Of The Holding Items.

Like :- Bobbins, Lap Rods, Cans, Cones And Cheeses.

Colouring

The Fibres (Tinting).

Colour Coding
Definition :-

To Develop A Code By Colouring The Holding Items

For Segregation Purpose.

Method Of Colour Coding

At Lap Stage, Lap Rods Or Tip Are Painted With Colours.

At Card Stage, Coloured Cans Are Used Or A Strip Of Diff. Colours Are
Put Around The Can.

At Drawframe Stage, Bobbins, Cheeses And Cones Of Diff. Colours Or

Tipped With Diff. Colours Are Used.

Diff Coloured Coded Holding Items

Tinting
Definition :- The Other Method Of Segregation By
Colouring The Fibers With Small Amount Of
Colour Is Known As Tinting.
Tinting

Is Usually done With Fugitive Dyes So That These

Can
Be Easily Removed, And Also Does Not Affect The Natural
Properties Of Fibre.

Eligibility Of A Dye For Tinting

Tint Should Not Stain Other Fibres Or Machine Parts.

Like :- Drafting Rollers, Card cylinder, Flats, etc.

It Should Be Identifiable In Day And Night.

It Is Easily Washable.

It Should Not Have Any Adverse Effect On Drafting Or Dyeing Processes.

It Should Be Water Soluble Or Oil Soluble.

It Should Not Set At The Conditions Of Twist Setting Carried Out After
Spinning.
