Abstract

Disclosed is a method for characterizing crimped tow for subsequent identification or quality control comprising the steps of obtaining length measurements of the individual crimps in a sample of the tow, graphically representing the measurement distribution of a sufficient quantity of the tow until a pattern is established, and using the pattern as a standard against which other tow is compared.
