Variance –Length Curve

• The coefficient of variation at different cut lengths provided by the


evenness testers provides invaluable information with regard to the
variations prevalent at the specific cut lengths.

• When the variations prevailing at different cut lengths are


simultaneously represented graphically, it provides the possibility of
segregating cut lengths at which abnormal variations occur and
consequently identify the process stage which is most likely to be
responsible.

• This is made possible by the 'Variance Length Curve' which is a


standard feature of most evenness testers.
• In simple terms, a 'Variance Length Curve' is a graphical
representation of the Coefficient of Variation (CV%) against
the reference cut length.

• The representation is explained with a simple hypothetical


example as shown in Figure.

• For constructing the variance length curve, the measuring


field length is taken as the basic cut length at which the CV is
calculated and plotted. For variations at other cut lengths, the
mass of successive portion of material are added up and the
CV calculated.
Shape of Variance Length Curve
• A variance-length curve can be set out in quite a simple
manner by cutting a fiber assembly into pieces and
determining gravimetrically the mass of these pieces.

• The CV value is then calculated from each of these separate


values. If this procedure is repeated for various cut lengths
and the CV value recorded, one obtains the variance-length
curve .

Identification of faulty yarn

• When a yarn becomes faulty either due to an inferior raw


material or due to improperly optimized process or due to
faulty machinery then the coefficient of variation becomes
higher at cut lengths corresponding to the source of the fault.

• Therefore the variance length curve of a yarn with faults


always lies above the curve for the ideal fault free yarn as
shown in Figure.

3D V-L Curve

• Different levels of long-term mass variation, which are


also clearly visible in the corresponding cut length
diagrams, appear as different inclinations of the
variance-length-curves.

• In a variance-length curve array it is very easy to spot


exceptional samples.

How to calculate ideal V-L Curve?

The minimum possible


VL curve is plotted in Red Color by
using the above formulae

• number of fibres in the cross section(n)=117,

• i =Mean Fibre length=22mm, L= Cut length = 100mm


• CVlim(10cm)=(100/√117) X (√22/√100) = 4.33 8
Location of Sources of Deviation

• A fault created at any process stage creates higher CV


values at longer cut lengths.
• The cut length at which the maximum deviation occurs
depends on the stage at which the fault originates since
subsequent drafting increases the cut length at which the
deviations are noticed.
• For this purpose, the cut length ranges corresponding to
the various departments should be identified. This is done
by the following procedure.
• Initial Cut Length l (cm) = Mean Fibre Length x K
where K =1 + CV 2
(CV - Coefficient of Variation of fibre length)
• K ⋍ 1.18 for Cotton,
K ⋍ 1.27 for Wool and
K ⋍ 1.00 for Synthetic Fibres.

• If the mean fibre length is not available, it can be estimated


from the spectrogram, since the highest point of a
spectrogram is given by

• max = l x 2.82 (where l – Mean Fiber Length)


• Consequently l = max / 2.82
