Folded Yarn: The calculations for ascertaining the resultant counts of folded yarns when the counts of the component threads are given in the direct or universal system like tex is very simple. This is because of the fact that the count number in these systems expresses the weight of one length unit of the yarn…
Work study: Work-study is the systematic examination of the method of carrying activities. It is one of the important tools to improve productivity in the textile and apparel industry. Work study investigates the work done in an organization and aims at finding the best and the most efficient way of utilizing the available resources (man,…
Costing of Folded Yarn: The cost of folded yarn is the sum of the cost of the component threads required and the cost of folding. The quantity of component threads required includes also waste made during the process of folding. This may or may not be significant. Here, we will discuss costing of folded yarns…
The weight of all textile materials varies with the variations in the relative humidity of the surrounding atmosphere in which they are kept. The variations in the weight of different textiles are different. Therefore, the normal practice in the trade is to have the conditioned weight of textiles as the basis of the purchase or…
The calculations involved in determining the average counts in the tex system are much simpler than those of the indirect systems. This is because it is a direct system and the length and weight units are in the metric system. In this article, we will discuss average count calculation in tex system with different examples….
Regain: Regain is estimated from the warp length on a sample cloth. The usual procedure for a grey cloth is to cut the cloth of a convenient length. Then a warp thread is taken out from the cloth and straightened out without unduly stretching it. The length of the thread is then measured and from…
