Comparison of projection microscope with OFDA100 in alpaca fibers medullation
SUMMARY The aim of this research was to compare Projection Microscope (PMic) and Computerized Projection Microscope (CPMic) with Optical Fiber Diameter Analyzer (OFDA100), for the determination of the medullation in alpaca fibers expressed in percentage (MED). Fiber samples were taken from Pacomarca Scientific Station. Three experiments were carried out. At experiment 1, the MED was […]
Development and validation of a smart system for medullation and diameter assessment of alpaca, llama and mohair fibres
ABSTRACT Medullated fibres, due to their higher resistance to bending and pressure, constitute a problem for the textile industry. Thus, having practical instruments to identify them is essential. Therefore, the aim of this research was to develop and validate a novel, swift, automatic system (referred to as S-Fiber Med) for medullation and diameter assessment of […]
OBJECTIVE MEASUREMENT OF «OBJECTIONABLE» MEDULLATED FIBRES IN COMMERCIAL MOHAIR TOPS SING AN OPTICAL FIBRE DIAMETER ANALYSER (OFDA) – AN INTRODUCTORY STUDY
by D.W.F. TURPIE and C.H. STEENKAMP Gubb & Inggs Limited, Uitenhage, South Africa. with comments by L. HUNTER* *CSIR Division of Textile Technology. Port Elizabeth, South Africa SUMMARY: In a quest to find an objetive measure of those medullated fibres which «stand out» as being «optically different» and «objectionable» commercial mohair tops (including good quality […]
The Definitions of Medullation Threshold Values used by Different Testing Methods to Define an Objectionable Medullated Fibre in Merino Wool.
A review by Anjalika Balasingam Conclusion There is no objective definition of a contaminant medullated wool fibre that can be substantiated by published trials. The American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) has published a definition in ASTM-D 2968-89 that uses the ratio of medulla to fibre diameter to define contaminant medullation. But we have been […]
Variaciones de la densidad, diámetro y crecimiento de fibras, expansión de piel y peso vivo desde el nacimiento al destete en corderos Junín
RESUMEN: A los días 0 (nacimiento), 30, 60, 90 y 120 (destete), 19 corderos de raza Junín fueron evaluados, con el objetivo de: a) conocer las variaciones de 14 características relacionadas a la densidad de fibras, conductos pilosos e incidencias de haces de fibras, al diámetro, crecimiento de fibras, a aquellos ligados a la expansión […]
Calibration and validation of the Mini-fiber EC image analysis instrument mean fiber diameter through direct or primary measurements
Evaluación de la medulación de fibras de lanas y fibras especiales de algunas especies de animales
Evaluation of a new portable device that measures diameter of animal fibres
Comparación de la precisión y exactitud de cuatro equipos para determinar la media del diámetro de fibra y desviación estándar de fibra de alpaca
RESUMEN El objetivo fue la precisión y exactitud de cuatro equipos que evalúan la Media del Diámetro de Fibra (MDF) y Desviación Estándar (DS), realizado en el Laboratorio de Fibras Textiles, Pieles y Cueros de la Facultad de Zootecnia de la Universidad Nacional Agraria la Molina.
