Test results are usually back to the farmer within a week. The biggest wait time is conditioning so the lint is at a consistent temperature and humidity.

Color is from the glass on the bottom but the sample will be flipped and the machine makes an average of multiple readings.

Hope that helps!

Especially the cotton testing video is fantastically made. I like to understand a few things….

1. How long it takes to test a sample for all cotton properties like Length, Strength, Color, Trash etc..?

2. I have seen a portion of video where the top arm is pressing the cotton for color measurement.. It means whether the color measurement is at the top side or bottom of the sample? Because I have seen in India usually the color measurement of the cotton is done on the bottom side of the sample and top side is missed usually.

Nice to see your blogs.. All the best…

This is done so textile mills can match fiber purchases with the intended uses of the fiber. Actually a significant amount of testing for food quality and safety is done extensively long before a product is sold, there are a number of quality parameters that result in a lot of food waste in the US. What kind of testing would you like to see on food?

This is so detailed and informative. I wish they would test our food as well as they do the cotton.
