Stelometer and High Volume Instrument Strength Measurements of Different Upland Cotton Fibers

This study analyzed Stelometer and high volume instrument (HVI) strength on 6 Upland cotton varieties, together with attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy characterization of resultant Stelometer breakages. Stelometer tenacity agreed with HVI strength in general, but one variety (immature) was observed to show the lowest HVI strength value while another variety (larger infrared crystallinity index) to show the smallest Stelometer tenacity. Meanwhile, there were apparent distinctions in regressions and statistics of examined correlations between each Upland variety and combined fiber set
