PEMANFAATAN SERAT ALAMI LIMBAH AMPAS TEBU SEBAGAI TALI SERAT
ABSTRACT: Bagasse is
a byproduct of
extraction (squeezing) of
sugar cane. A
single sugar mill
can produces around
35-40% (weight) of bagasse from sugar cane milled. Bagasse which is a
sugar cane mill waste can be processed into a fiber rope. Fiber rope can be
made from many kind of tree bark, it makes the utilization of bagasse for a
fiber rope is possible. The research was aimed to make a fiber rope from
bagasse and to test the endurance of sugar cane fiber rope toward a tensile
test.Results of the research indicated that each substance tested with the same
weight produced different string diameter. Average value of examinatied 8 g
streng had diameter of 5,83 mm, length of 58,3 mm, elongation of 22,66 mm, maximum
loaded of 283,33 N, cross section of 2,489 x 10-5 m2, elongation at break of
tensile strength of 105,6 x 105 Nm-2, strain of 0,39, elasticity of 303,9 x 105
N m-2and flexing of 38,7 %.
