CEN/TC 248/WG 19 - Characterisation of fibres

This test method covers the determination of the elasticity of fibres and may lead to classification of the fibre as elastic fibre (see Annex A).
It is applicable to single man-made crimped and uncrimped fibres.

The standard describes a manual technique to simulate the tendency of cotton fibres to stick  to textile working surfaces.
Test specimens can be raw cotton fibre  (fibre sampled e.g. from a bale), or opened fibre, slivers, etc.

This standard describes an automatic technique to simulate the tendency of "contaminated" cotton fibres to stick to working surfaces of textile machines (e.g. card clothing, drafting rollers, crush rolls).
