Classification of U.S. Cotton
Cotton classification is the application of USDA official standards and standardized procedures for measuring physical attributes of raw cotton that affect the quality of the finished product and/or manufacturing efficiency.
USDA’s classing methodology provides the best possible information on cotton quality for marketing and processing. USDA classification currently consists of determinations of fiber length, length uniformity, fiber strength, micronaire, color, trash, leaf, and extraneous matter.
