5 1 Introduction Textile specialists and managers may have noticed that there was a significant evolution in textile measuring technology in the past four decades, particularly in the area of cotton classification and yarn testing because in these two domains modern sensor technology and sophisticated scientific methods can be applied. As a result, cotton of various growth areas as well as all kinds of yarns can be compared easily because accurate figures are available. This will lead to a standardization in the textile industry. 2 Standardization of cotton fibers 2.1 Standardization of cotton fiber characteristics in cotton producing countries For a long period cotton was tested visually, mostly by certified classers, because accurate electronic systems were not available. But the only quality parameter which certified classers could determine with a reasonable accuracy was the fiber length. Many additional quality characteristics which are nowadays also important such as the short fiber content, the fiber strength and elongation, the maturity, the number of neps, the number of dust and trash particles, could not be determined or had to be determined with time-consuming manual instruments. Therefore, the United States Department of Agriculture already started a cooperation with the local electronics industry in 1968 to replace the certified classer by an electronic system. After an intensive development period the measuring system was available for large scale testing of cotton bales in the US cotton belt. A strong motivation for accurate electronic testing systems were correct incentives to farmers for the obtained fiber quality, better sales criteria for cotton trading and the superiority of the US cotton trading system. Other cotton producing countries followed. In 1999 similar classing offices were available for cotton testing in Uzbekistan. Subsequently, additional classing offices for cotton fibers were also installed in Australia, Brazil, India, Zimbabwe, Greece, Turkmenistan, Malawi, Mexico and Tadzhikistan. The China Fiber Inspection Bureau CFIB has also to installed such High Volume Testing Systems in various locations. By 2010 the classing offices in China will be completed. Table 1 and Table 2 show the replacement of the human classer by Uster Fiber Testing Systems and the percentage of electronically tested bales worldwide. Table 2 also shows the amount of cotton which is tested with USTER HVI Systems in 14 cotton producing countries in USTER PRODUCTS 5 (16)

7 With the USTER HVI Systems a standardization of the cotton fiber parameters took place. As a result, the fiber parameters of cotton of various growth areas can be compared throughout the world. 2.2 Standardization of fiber testing in spinning mills Such USTER HVI Systems are also used for bale lay-down in spinning mills. With the single fiber testing system USTER AFIS the effect of the spinning process on cotton fiber quality parameters can be measured from the blowroom to the roving frame (Fig. 1). Bale Blowroom Card Drawframe Ribbon lap machine Comber Finisher drawframe Roving frame Bundle fiber testing (HVI) Entangled fibers Single fiber testing (AFIS) Entangled fibers Parallel fibers Fig. 1 Measuring range of fiber bundle and single fiber testing system The USTER HVI System is able to measure entangled fibers. Therefore, the USTER HVI System can be used for the measurement of the cotton quality characteristics in the bale and throughout the blowroom. The USTER AFIS System is able to measure entangled and parallel fibers. Therefore, in can be used for process control throughout the entire spinning process (Fig. 2).

8 The USTER AFIS System is used for the measurement of fiber damage, the increase and reduction of neps, the reduction of short fibers, the reduction of dust and trash, etc., in each processing step. It is also used to maximize the yield of fibers and the productivity. In addition to this, the USTER AFIS System serves for maintaining the maximum yield of fibers and the highest possible production with the processed raw material. The USTER AFIS System is also a helpful tool to investigate efficiency improvements of subsequent processes such as weaving and knitting and to improve the appearance of fabrics. With these tools as well as with cost considerations by means of Uster Calculation Tools it will be possible to optimize the productivity as well as the costs. With the above mentioned USTER HVI System as well as with the USTER AFIS System it is today possible to measure a wide variety of quality characteristics shown in Table 3.

9 2.3 Basics of Fiber Quality Profiles In order to reach the specifications for a yarn agreed upon between a weaving/knitting and a spinning mill (Table 7 and Table 8) it is highly recommended to specify the minimum or maximum conditions for the raw material. Otherwise it will be difficult to reach a sustainable situation in a spinning mill. Fig. 3 shows the principles of a Fiber Quality Profile. Micronaire Fiber length Quality characteristics below requirements Short Fiber Index Uniformity Index Required quality characteristics exceeded Maturity Bundle Strength Reflectance Rd Yellowness +b Trash (Area) Trash (Count) Neps 0% 50% 100% Cotton Quality Profile defined by spinning mill Fig. 3 Optimization of the fiber quality characteristics based on a Fiber Quality Profile Fig. 3 shows that the raw material profile is not ideal for the yarn which has to be produced in the spinning mill. Some of the cotton quality characteristics exceed the requirements and some of the characteristics are below the requirements. The adaptation of the raw material quality to the needs of the yarn to be produced for a customer is a significant step towards quality consistency and reduction of costs. Therefore, the fiber purchasing as well as the blending in the blowroom is important. It is also obvious that in a spinning mill with a wide variety of yarns an ideal fiber blend cannot be realized, but it is highly recommended to approach the fiber quality profile as good as possible. This is the area where most of the cost savings can be realized. Table 4 shows an example of a spinning mill where there was a mismatch between the raw material requirements and the current raw material in the warehouse of a mill. It was the intention of the mill to come closer to the requirements for future fiber purchasing. The adaptation of the raw material to the requirement is also a significant option to lower the costs. Table 4 shows the ideal requirements of the fiber quality characteristics of the cotton bales based on a Yarn Quality Profile for a weaving yarn, ringspun, combed, cotton 100%, count range Ne 30 to Ne 50. Enduse: shirts. All these figures are measured with the Uster HVI Systems with neps feature. USTER PRODUCTS 9 (16)

The spinning process causes various changes of the fiber quality characteristics. The number of neps and the dust/trash particles are drastically reduced. The short fiber content, particularly in case of combing, is also reduced. If the fiber quality has to be known which finally ends in the yarn it is advisable to measure the quality characteristics in the sliver of the finisher drawframe. Table 5 shows a Fiber Quality Profile for a sliver of the finisher drawframe. These figures have to be measured with the Uster AFIS System. The fibers are used for a yarn of combed cotton, count range Ne 30 to Ne 50. Enduse: Shirts.

11 3 Standardization of yarn quality characteristics 3.1 Standardization of the yarn quality characteristics in spinning mills The standardization of the yarn quality characteristics began with the publication of the first USTER STATISTICS in 1957 which served as benchmarks to compare the yarn quality of various origins. The pressure for accurate yarn quality characteristics was intensified in the past 10 years due to the influence of the big retail names who had to improve the supply chain management in order to keep the quality claims within reasonable limits. For many spinning mills which have to supply yarns of consistent quality it was a requirement to improve the quality, the productivity and to reduce the costs. The tools for the determination of fiber and yarn quality characteristics were used to establish a future-oriented quality management. Table 6 shows an example of a Yarn Quality Profile with a list of parameters which can be specified in detail to be sustainable. There are also a few fiber characteristics listed in Table 6. Many yarn buyers do not specify the raw material because they are of the opinion that the spinning mill must have the degree of freedom what kind of raw material has to be used for a specified yarn. Test Quality parameter Test Quality parameter Fiber quality Micronaire Yarn Hairiness required Length Thin places Short fiber content Thick places Neps Neps Strength Strength Yarn Deviation of count Variation of strength Count variation Elongation Twist variation Remaining disturbing thick and thin places Direction of yarn twist Remaining foreign fibers Evenness Table 6 Quality characteristics which can be specified for a yarn The following items have motivated yarn buyers and retailers to better specify yarns and to establish Yarn Quality Profiles: For a sales agreement and for arguments in case of claims accurate figures are required to define the yarn Accurate figures are also required for spinning mills in order to deliver yarns of consistent quality In order to use the Uster Calculation Tools to quickly compute cost improvements in spinning mills, the managers of the mills need accurate figures to adapt the quality to the required specifications. USTER PRODUCTS 11 (16)

12 3.2 Basics of yarn quality profiles Yarn quality profiles containing a selection of quality characteristics mentioned in Table 6 are now well known in spinning mills. The yarn buyers are more and more in the process to exactly specify the minimum requirements for yarns. Such Yarn Quality Profiles are developed with the data base of the USTER STATISTICS as benchmarks. For spinning mills it frequently means a reduction of manufacturing costs because the raw material and the spinning process can be adapted to the minimum requirements listed in the Yarn Quality Profile. In addition to this, various reference figures are now available to monitor and improve the productivity and the costs. Fig. 4 shows the basics of a Yarn Quality Profile. Count variation Evenness Thin places Thick places Neps Hairiness Twist Twist variation Tenacity Tenacity variation Elongation Disturbing thick places Disturbing foreign fibers 0% 50% 100% Required quality characteristics exceeded Quality characteristics below requirements Yarn quality profile agreed with customer Fig. 4 Optimization of the yarn quality characteristics based on a yarn quality profile The important quality characteristics of a yarn have to be defined according to a specific yarn type and enduse (compact yarn, OE rotor yarn, air-jet yarn, woven fabric, knitted fabric, textile or technical application, etc.). These specifications are equivalent to the 100%-line in Fig. 4. Fig. 4 demonstrates which quality characteristics exceed the specifications and which characters are below the expectations. 12 (16) USTER PRODUCTS

All the values are based on the USTER STATISTICS as benchmarks. Table 8 shows a Yarn Quality Profile where minimum requirements for the applied cotton fibers are also specified. Particularly important for some yarn buyers are the remaining short fibers in the sliver of the finisher drawframe. USTER PRODUCTS 13 (16)

15 4 Conclusion The accurate specification of cotton and all kinds of yarns (cotton, blended, 100% synthetic) is an enormous support for spinning mills to buy cotton according to minimum requirements. Together with a precise measurement of yarn quality characteristics a standardization takes place within a significant domain of the textile industry (raw material and yarn) where all the specialists and managers use the same language.
