Abstract
A study has been made of the parameters affecting the retention of liquid water by cotton fabric during centrifugal extraction. In addition to the obvious effect of centrifugal field strength, data are given on the effects of initial water content of the fabric load, surface tension and temperature of the water being expelled, thickness of the fabric bed, and others. The results are discussed in relation to a water retention theory based on the equilibrium between surface forces and gravitational forces which was proposed by J. M. Preston and co-workers.
