Description

Density is one of the fundamental physical characteristics of wool which is assumed to remain constant, yet medullation, when present, is an obvious source of variation in the density of wool fibres. It was proposed that a standardised and commercially viable method of measuring the density of wool fibres should be developed. Adaptation of an existing method of measuring the volume and density of finely powdered and porous solids, using a rapid, automated helium pycnometer, was pursued. Preli...
