Overview Of Typical Parameters
Fineness
Fineness is the degree of fiber thickness, which is divided into direct index and indirect index. Direct indicators are generally expressed by the diameter and cross-sectional area of the fiber. The indirect indicator is determined by the fiber quality or length, that is, the quality or length of the fiber at fixed length or fixed weight. In the chemical fiber industry, it is usually expressed in terms of fiber mass per unit length, that is, linear density. Commonly used representation methods include tex, dtex, and denier. The mass (g) of a 1000 m fiber is called tex, and 1/10 of it is dtex. The mass (g) of a 9000 m fiber is called denier. 1den=9tex.
Density
The density of fiber refers to the mass of fiber per unit volume, in g/cm3. The density of various fibers is different. The density of several main textile fibers is shown in the table below.
Moisture Absorption
Moisture absorption is usually used to measure the ability of fiber materials to absorb moisture from a gaseous environment. Indicators that characterize moisture absorption include moisture regain or moisture content. The former refers to the percentage of the moisture content of the fiber to the dry fiber mass, and the latter refers to the percentage of the moisture content of the fiber to the actual mass of the fiber.
Fiber Crimp
The degree of crimp is mainly an indicator for short fibers. The fiber is subjected to chemical, physical or mechanical crimping and deformation processing, and the fiber is given a certain crimp. The purpose of crimping is to improve the cohesion of the fibers, while increasing the bulkiness and elasticity of the fibers. Measurement methods include magnifying method and projection method.
