On the Torsion Constant of Cotton Fibers

Abstract

The measurement of the torsion constant of cotton fibers is usually determined by the single-fiber method. The bundle method proves to be faster, and the determination of this physical property by the bundle method is analyzed and the experimental results are discussed.
