Reject Bales — Bales outside of Lot Limits.
Report — Information based on selected parameters that is sent to the
screen or printed.
Report Type — A report can be based on actual test values or on the
category that was assigned to the test value. Reports can have both
value and categories.
Reverse Chronological Order — Arranged in the opposite order
from occurrence. The most recent event is listed first.
Sample — The cotton fiber mass to be tested. For Micronaire
measurements, it must be a certain weight; for length, strength,
uniformity, and elongation measurements, it must be in the form of a
beard.
SCI — Spinning Consistency Index is a calculated value based on a
regression equation that takes into account all
HVI SPECTRUM
properties and calculates one value to be used on each sample tested.
SCI also appears as a report header.
SFI — Short Fiber Index appears as a report header.
Software — The instructions that make the computer hardware
perform tasks. Programs, operating systems, and applications are all
software.
Source File —
Data file on floppy.
Span Length — The distance a selected percentage of fibers extend
from a clamp in which they have been caught at random along their
length.
Specific Surface — The relationship between total fiber surface area
to the total fiber volume as measured by the resistance to air flow of a
known mass of fibers confined in a fixed volume.
Specification — A set of criteria that has been established to ensure
that samples are acceptable.
