Why is it important?
• Higher SFC% results in higher loss at theHigher SFC% results in higher loss at the carding machine.
• Higher SFC% results in more yarn defects i iand productivity loss.
• More yarn defects result in more fabric defectsdefects.

Conclusions
• Length distribution is of the utmost importance for good spinning performances.
• Length distribution is related to individual fiber strength, therefore to fineness and maturity.

Fiber Elongation
• Due to the lack of calibration standards, High Volume Instruments (HVI) do not provide consistently accurate fiber elongation data.
• The contribution of fiber bundle elongation in the work of rupture of fiber bundles is critically important to processing performance.
