Comb (Fibrocomb) — The specimen holder that is used to gather the
sample fibers (beard) from the mass of fibers.
Constant — The value in the SCI or CSP equation that is to be
multiplied by a test value.
Count Strength Product (CSP) — In determination of yarn strength,
the product of the English yarn number (Ne) and skein break value
(SBr).
Cursor — A special symbol seen on the monitor screen; a flashing
underline or box, that indicates the position where the next character
will be entered.
Data Files — A file created within an application. In this case, the
data files generally refer to the files containing the

Destination — This determines where a report will be seen. For
example, a report can be sent to either the screen or to the printer.
Elongation — The distance to the maximum of the stress-strain curve,
less the distance attributed to crimp, multiplied by 100, and divided by
the break gage (1/8 inch).
Enter — This keyboard key is sometimes labeled RETURN. When the
key is pressed, the software interprets this as a signal to proceed to the
next action.
Exit — Button used to leave the current operation or screen.

accumulation of the length distribution of length distribution of the fibers
sensed by the
FIBROGRAPH
instrument in scanning the fibers.
