Determining Dry Mass Regain in Flax Roving Processing
Determining dry mass regain in flax roving requires 105°C thermal drying coupled with solvent extraction corrections to separate water loss from spinning oils.
CIDE Trading Rules
Contractual Standard
International agreements between flax merchants and spinning mills rely on a unified set of obligations for raw material delivery. The cide trading rules provide the legal and technical framework used by European exporters and Chinese importers to define fibre quality, shipping terms, delivery schedules and payment conditions. These provisions establish the basis for evaluating moisture, impurities, strength and long fibre yield.
Commercial Procedure
Every shipment undergoes weight and quality verification according to the protocols set by the confederation. Buyers use cide trading rules to verify the net weight of scutched flax or tow against the commercial invoice. If a discrepancy occurs in the laboratory report or the arrival weight, the mill initiates a claim through the specified channels.
This process prevents disputes over natural fluctuations in organic material. The documentation includes the official moisture certificate and the packing list which must match the shipping marks on each bale. Correct identification of the lot number ensures traceability from the flax field to the spinning frame.
Liability Limit
Responsibility for the cargo shifts from the seller to the buyer at the point defined by the selected trade term. While the cide trading rules cover most scenarios, specific bilateral amendments often adjust the tolerance for foreign matter or package damage. Arbitration usually takes place in a designated maritime court if mediation fails.
Final settlement depends on the original certificate of origin and the landing report.
