KOSHAL M. Sc and N. AHMAD 0.B. [...] In this formula the width (NV) is measured at the widest part of the convolution as it appears in the that view while the thicness ('I) is read at the edge-on position of the fibre. [...] In the present envt stigation however only one measurment of the swollen fibre is taken n the middle position of the fibre and it is found that measurements on 2oc fibres would be required for an accuracy of about 2'7 on either side of the nan. [...] The correlation between highest standard warp counts and swollen diameter is negative and significant consequently this fibre property can be utilised for the identification of cottons haying different spinning values or may be coupled along with the other fibre"12 Determination of the Swarm Diameter of Cotton Fibres—Koshal and A hmatirO properties for predicting the spinning value of a cotton.
