Characteristics Abbreviation Unit DescriptionHairiness H The hairiness H corresponds to the total length of protrudingfibers divided by the length of the sensor of 1 cm. The hairinessis, therefore, a figure without a unit.Standard deviation ofhairinesssHStandard deviation of hairinessCoefficient of variationof hairinessCV Hb % Coefficient of variation of the yarn hairinessTable 4-10Optical evaluation of yarnsThe following characteristics are evaluated by an optical sensor which illuminates the yarn from 2different directions and with an angle of 90°.Characteristics Abbreviation Unit DescriptionCV2D0.3mm CV2D0.3mm % Coefficient of variation of the diameter over the reference lengthof 0.3 mmCV Fine Structure CV FS % Coefficient of variation of the fine structure, assessment of shortterm variationsShape Shape Non-dimensional value between 0 and 1, which describes theroundness of a yarn (1 = circular, 0.5 = elliptical)Density D g/cm³ Mean yarn density related to the nominal countTable 4-11Dust and trashThe following characteristics are determined by a sensor which determines dust and trash in yarns.Characteristics Abbreviation Unit DescriptionTrash count Trash count 1/1000m Trash particles per km or yard > 500 µmDust count Dust count 1/1000m Dust particles per km or yard > 100 - 500 µmTable 4-12Applicable standards for USTER ® TESTERISO 2060, DIN 53 830 Determination of yarn countISO 2649, DIN 53 817, Determination of yarn evennessASTM 1423USTER ® STATISTICS 21 (36)
