Cotton Quality Evaluation

The damage that can occur in certain fibrous raw materials or in textiles during their production and storage of textiles is expertly described in this book by Karl Mahall. In particular, he explains methods for finding concealed textile defects by using microscopic analysis. Besides minor improvements and corrections, the new edition contains a new chapter "Poultry Feathers as Filling Material for Bedding and Textiles - Analysis of Faults." The reason for its inclusion is that natural feathers and down are not only used as a filling material for bedding but also for garments, such as anoraks, coats and sleeping bags. This book is especially useful as a manual for both chemical and textile engineers and quality engineers. It is also a useful reference for others in the textile industry in general.

Excerpt from Cotton Quality Evaluation: Testing Methods and Use The 1923 Standards Act made the use of the official standards mandatory in interstate and foreign commerce unless the cotton was sold from actual samples or private types (purchasers buy directly from farmers and conduct their own testing). The standards were soon accepted by foreign countries and the name, universal standards, was approved. Since the early twenties, revisions of the standards have continued, with the last major revision coming in 1962. The goal of the revisions was to develop standards that are useful from a product perspective, can be uniformly applied, and are related to stable and measurable quality factors.
