Comb sorter diagrams define the true upper quartile length and short-fibre mass of hackled flax, setting frame ratch distances and determining wet-spun yields.
Selective pectin degradation paired with tuned hackling pin density maximizes fibre bundle separation while retaining staple length for fine wet spinning.
Mathematical transformation between bast fiber numerical and mass length requires power-law bundle scaling to prevent drafting failure and false yield valuation.
Low cohesion flax slivers collapse under high draft ratios, requiring reduced trough temperatures, higher roving twist, and tight ratch settings to hold count.
Comb sorter profiling establishes staple length distribution, short fibre content, and drafting bounds to guarantee target yarn counts and fabric yield.
