Abstract

Stretch‐breaking is a recent new technology proposed for ramie fiber processing. By analyzing the fiber motion and its breaking point pattern in the stretch‐breaking zone, the distribution of the fiber breaking point was estimated, and the relationship between fiber length parameters, such as average length, length irregularity, and short fiber content, and stretch‐breaking settings was constructed quantitatively. Furthermore, the factors affecting fiber length changes are discussed. In addition, the distribution of the fiber breaking point in the fiber is experimentally determined. It can be concluded that the stretch‐breaking gauge presents high correlation with the length parameters of the treated fiber. These conclusions are profoundly instructive to the practice of the stretch‐breaking technique.
