A Single-Fiber Load-Elongation Tester for Cotton

Abstract
A single-fiber tester of the type employing a constant rate of loading is described. Designed especially for obtaining load-elongation curves in addition to end-point data on cotton fibers, it employs coiled-spring loading and optical means of recording. Devices are incorporated that permit cyclic loading studies and static life determinations. An oven and humidification tank are provided for testing at various temperatures and under various moisture conditions.
