Fiber quality measurement

Why do we measure color and trash ?

• To identify bales having homogeneous characteristics and group them per lot

• To avoid variations in color in raw and dyed fabrics

• To limit wastes during processing

What Cirad does and recommends

1) A t lib ti t i di l l1) Apparatus calibration to insure a proper reading level.

2) Check and set-up of procedures to warrant proper precision and accuracy levels.

3) Check of the results through a participation to3) Check of the results through a participation to periodical international round tests.

4) Check the precision in classing routine.

TO GETTO GET
