63 MICRON FIGURES The micron figures for all sale rams were obtained from samples taken in May and August under the supervision of NSW SMB Councillors. Micron figures are a guide only and should be used as such. They do not necessarily tell how an individual ram will breed. Rams tested are in full show feed and micron results can be expected to show stronger figures than would be expected under natural conditions. The Comfort Factor is expressed as a percentage and is defined as the proportion of fibres which have a diameter of less than 30µm. Research has shown that wools with a Comfort Factor of 95% or greater (i.e. less than 5% of fibres greater than 30um) can be comfortably worn against the skin. A wool with a Comfort Factor of 100% contains no fibres greater than 30µm. The Spinning Fineness is expressed in microns and provides an estimate of the performance of the wool when it is spun into yarn. The Spinning Fineness is calculated from the measured Mean Fibre Diameter and the measured Coefficient of Variation of Fibre Diameter. The Spinning Fineness is the same as the Fibre Diameter when the Coefficient of Variation (CV) is 24%. Wools with a CV of less than 24% will have a Spinning Fineness less than the Fibre Diameter. T he Mean Fibre Diameter, the Standard Deviation of Fibre Diameter, and the Coefficient of Variation of Fibre Diameter are values that have been measured by AWTA Ltd using Laserscan instrumentation. The Comfort Factor and Spinning Fineness are values that have been calculated using formulas that have been derived from research studies. They are not values that are directly measured by AWTA Ltd and care should be taken in their use. The Standard Deviation is a statistic that summarises the way diameter results from individual fibres are spread around the Mean Fibre Diameter. It measures the absolute distribution of fibre diameter either side of the Mean and is expressed in microns. Sixty eight percent (68%) of fibres fall within a range one Standard Deviation either side of the Mean, and 95% of fibres fall within a range two Standard Deviations either side of the Mean. For example a wool with a Mean Fibre Diameter of 20µm and a Standard Deviation of 4µm will have 68% of fibre snippets between 16.0µm and 24.0µm and 95% of fibre snippets between 12.0µm and 28.0µm. The Coefficient of Variation is a measure of the relative distribution of fibre diameter and is expressed as a percentage (%). It is calculated by expressing the Standard Deviation as a percentage of the Mean. For example a wool with a Mean Fibre Diameter of 20µm and a Standard Deviation of 4µm will have a Coefficient of Variation of ( ) x 100=20%. TERMS: NETT CASH BEFORE DELIVERY The Purchaser understands stock will be sold under the standard terms and conditions of sale pertaining to the sale of stud stock within the State of New South Wales (which terms and conditions are on public display), together with any additional semen and marketing rights or conditions set down by the Vendor and displayed.
