10、Method4.1 The test procedure is based upon the measure of themaximum resisting force when a length of sliver or top ispulled in an axial direction.Specified lengths of sliver or topare placed in the clamps of a tensile testing machine and themaximum force developed during separation of the clamps is
11、recorded.The cohesive tenacity is calculated in terms of theforce per unit linear density of the tested specimen.Thecohesive tenacity is considered a measure of the cohesion ofthe fibers in the specimen and is reported in micronewtons/tex(gf/denier).5.Significance and Use5.1 Fiber cohesion is relate
