What is the key characteristic that defines a material as a 'fiber' in textile manufacturing?
All of the above
What is the primary function of the 'Blow Room' in the spinning process?
To open the material into very fine tufts and eliminate most impurities
What is the main purpose of the 'Mixing and Blending' step in the spinning process?
To provide a good blend of two different types of fibers
What is the main function of the 'Speed Frame' in the spinning process?
To attenuate the sliver by drafting it into a finer and more uniform strand
What unit is typically used to specify fineness for man-made fibers?
Tex
In the fineness scale for cotton fibers, which range represents a medium (premium) fineness?
4.0-4.9
How do fibers of length under 4-5 mm typically contribute to yarn production?
They are lost as waste during processing
What is the staple length range for 'medium staple' cotton fibers?
1 5/32" - 1 3/8"
Which characteristic does fiber length NOT influence?
Fiber fineness
What length grouping represents 'extra-long staple' cotton fibers?
1 13/32" and above
What percentage of the manufacturing cost of a short-staple yarn does the raw material represent?
50-75%
Which of the following fiber characteristics is not mentioned in the text?
Fiber density
What is the minimum number of fibers needed in the cross-section of a yarn?
30
Which of the following is NOT a way that fiber fineness influences yarn production?
Yarn twistability
How does fiber fineness influence the productivity of the spinning process?
It improves the handle of the yarn
What is the approximate lower limit for the number of fibers in the cross-section of a yarn in almost all new spinning processes?
100

To withstand high loading during use
Which range represents a 'high' elongation percentage for cotton fibers?
6.8-7.6%
What issue can arise if fibers are too stiff?
They will not properly bind into the yarn
What measure can be used to evaluate fiber stiffness?
Slenderness ratio

Which of the following is NOT a part of the course learning objectives?
Selecting the appropriate fiber types for different yarn applications
What is the difference between a spun yarn and a filament yarn?
Spun yarn is made from staple fibers, and filament yarn is made from continuous filaments
What is the primary purpose of the twisting process in spinning?
To provide strength and cohesion to the yarn
