Consumer characteristics of hemp fibers received from three different methods of preparation

Purpose. Determination of the basic consumption characteristics of hemp fibers obtained from trusts of different purposes, on which the scope of their application in the manufacture of technical and household goods depends. Methodology. The fibers obtained from the reed after coldwater wetting, biological spreading in the field, steaming and spring harvesting of hemp straw stems were determined: breaking load (strength), flexibility and linear density according to standard methods given in GOST 23087-78 -76. Currently, new standards for hemp fiber, which were developed by the Institute of bast crops of the NAAS of Ukraine are not approved by the State Standard, therefore, methods of standards of the USSR were used. Findings. According to an assessment of the main consumption characteristics of hemp fibers obtained from three hundred different methods of preparation, the scope of application of hemp fibers for the production of twisted products, ropes, ropes, twines and consumer goods is defined. Originality. For the first time the consumption characteristics of hemp fibers isolated from the trust after different methods of processing straw stalks have been determined, on the basis of which recommendations for the further use of fibers in the manufacture of a wide range of consumer goods have been developed. The practical value. The conducted studies make it possible to predict the use of the optimal method of obtaining hemp shakes for the manufacture of goods for the intended purpose
