A microprocessor-based system for deriving variance-length curves in conjunction with Uster evenness tester has been described with particular reference to jute yams. Reliable variance-length curves can be obtained easily, and the higher CVs often encountered in jute yarns do not pose any problem. Thick and thin portions of the yarns can also be counted without additional circuitry.
