Coefficient of Variation

Dispersion Measure

Statistical dispersion in flax yarn linear density provides a standardized metric of yarn uniformity. The coefficient of variation represents this normalized standard deviation expressed as a percentage of the mean fibre diameter or yarn weight. Higher values in yarn weight distribution point to frequent thick and thin places along the strand.

This measure restricts itself to the evaluation of random variations within a single production lot, leaving systematic drift to be captured by separate calibration runs.

Spinning Impact

High yarn irregularity leads to frequent breakages during the high-speed winding and warping phases of linen manufacture. Draft adjustments on spinning frames can compensate for some variations in roving thickness, but they cannot correct sudden deviations. When the coefficient of variation in roving linear density exceeds a critical threshold, the resultant yarn suffers from reduced tensile strength.

This irregularity translates directly into uneven dye absorption during the subsequent finishing stages, creating visible streaks across the fabric that cannot be removed by bleaching.

Evaluation Standard

In-house laboratories run routine testing on multiple bobbins per lot using capacitance-based instruments. Spinners compare the coefficient of variation against the benchmark limits established in the buyer’s acceptance sheet. If the records exceed the limit, the batch undergoes downgraded routing.
