1, the value of silk quantity, mainly refers to the silk production and fresh cocoon silk rate.

2, relief value, including relief rate, relief silk length and other traits related to reeling production efficiency.

3, silk value, including cocoon fiber, thickness gap and cocoon silk traits.

4, group value, refers to the same batch of cocoon cocoon grain between the uniformity of various traits and the number of cocoons in the batch.

The four values constitute the commodity value of cocoons of raw materials for the reeling industry.

In addition to the cocoon color white, glossy normal, cocoon shape and other traits is also an important criterion for high-quality cocoon. Inspection of the above standards can generally take the amount of dry shell test method and reeling test method to determine.
