Enhancing the classification of length of cotton fiber

The article provides a full and thorough comparative analysis of domestic and foreign classification of cotton fiber by length. Comparative results on modern and foreign classification of indicators of length of fiber, identified using standardized instrumental systems are presented. As a result of the analysis, proposals were substantiated for a categorization of the fiber into long and medium-staple cotton fiber, founding alternative standards for them for the medium-selected length. The results of the analysis reveal that the proposed classification enables us to harmonize our national standard with advanced foreign standards and allows us to have a more accurate estimation over the length of Staple Longcotton fiber.
