Popis: A METHOD is offered for the gravimetric determination of foreign material in cellulose fibers which is particularly applicable to cottonseed linters, fiber, and motes. The procedure is relatively simple and rapid, requiring only equipment and technique generally in use in the cottonseed industry’s laboratories. Determinations are reproducible within significant limits. The foreign material, seed, hulls, hull bran, etc., is recovered (excepting particles finer than 50 mesh) so that it can be examined and its nature classified as to type. Use of the method would give the lint producer a dependable index to relative lint cleanliness, and the effect of modifications in seed cleaning and lint room operation aimed at improved lint quality.
