Abstract
A method for producing multiple fiber data from a plurality of single fiber tests. A plurality of individual fibers are subjected to tension tests such that the individual fibers are elongated tensioned and broken while characteristics of the fiber are monitored. Multiple fiber data are obtained by testing a number of fibers from a sample and superimposing the graphical representation of tensile characteristics of the individual fibers upon one another to obtain a composite representation which constitutes multiple fiber data. Characteristics of individual fibers which may be combined to obtain a composite representation constituting multiple fiber data include such characteristics as tension, elongation and cross-sectional characteristics of the fiber.
