Sample Fabric Analysis

Equipment Used : Thread Counter, Needle, Electric balance and scale.

Equipment Manufactured by : James H. Heal & Company, Halifex, England.

Person responsible : QA Executive Or Laboratory assistance.

Procedure :

Check Number of ends & picks per inch by thread counter
Pull out some threads from both the warp and weft side and determine warp and weft count. Then calculate fabric weight
checks weave design & direction.

Yarn Quality Evaluation

For yarn quality evaluation following parameters are taken into consideration:

Count
Thick & Thin Place
Slub
Neps
Yarn Sterngth
CV%

Procedure :

Every lot is accompanied by a yarn quality report.The yarn lot is accepted or rejected by evaluating this report
Yarn quality of each lots is checked using random Sampling by machines available in Padma Textile mills Ltd.

Greige Fabric Testing

A greige fabric sample from each lot is taken after weaving and necessary identification information is written on it by marker. Then construction, greige GSM & width of the sample are measured. Samples from a no. of lots are sewn and desize together. After desizing, sample s are dried and condition and again the construction, greige GSM & width, Shrinkage, skew are measured. The results are document in the lab test report.

This report is send to weaving department and to the factory manager.

Following are the applicable type of quality control tests for finished fabric

What is Crease Recovery Tester?

by Engr. Kh. Mashiur Rahman | Jan 12, 2017 | QC QA

Crease Recovery Tester

Crease recovery tester is used to assess the amount of recovery of fabric from creasing the result is generally expressed as the crease recovery angle. Made of heavy caste base with all parts of main steel Imported Acrylic Sheet used to make the Rotate Dial. To make the movement smooth the Dial moves in a fabric brass bush. The same base has both the stainless Steel Creasing Load and two Round Steel Plates for pressing the specimen. s ize of the Test Specimen: 40mm x 15mm. Creasing Load: 1 Kg. (Stainless Steel) Angle Measurement: On an Engraved Circular Scale graduated in 1 deg. Scale Measurement: 0-180 Degrees . Weight: 9 Kg

Crease Recovery Tester Specification

Machine name: Crease recovery tester.
Machine origin: England
Brand name: James H. Heal & Co. Ltd
Machine name: Fabric stiffness tester.

Durability of printed fabrics

Scope:This in house test method describes the method of test in order to determine the long term durability and appearance of printed fabrics in respect of colour/appearance retention.

Principle: The correct number of test specimens are to be prepared and tested as specified within this test method in order to achieve a performance assessment of the product/fabric as described within the scope.

Equipment: Wascator washing machine fom71.mp-lab.

Polyester make-weights.

Drying racks

Preparation of test specimens/materials

fabric – ensure that all colours within the print are represented within the specimen chosen.
all raw edges must be overlocked to prevent fraying prior to testing.
reference sample – an example containing all colours must be retained as a reference point for grading.

Test procedure

weigh the test specimen and make up to 2kg wash load using make-weights for printed fabrics.
select wascator programme at the temperature indicated for the test (either by written instruction or as per the care label).
place the load in the machine.
add 25gm persil heavy duty powder.
switch on machine.
Assessment/results of tested specimens
examine the specimens whilst still damp and note any significant changes in appearance.
place the specimens on drying racks and allow to dry.
Reporting of results
Assess any appearance change (see ihtm 007) and shade change of the printed areas when dry and record as required by the performance requirements.

GENERAL NOTES

Units are metric or SI throughout.
Warp and Weft, denote the length and width of a woven fabric.
Wales and Courses denote the length and width of a knitted fabric.
The area adjacent to the selvedges should be avoided as being not representative of

the fabric.

The normal conditions for testing textiles are, 20^oC +/-2^oC and 65% +/-4% RH.

Excessive handling of specimens should be avoided.
Where production seams are available, these should be tested in addition to laboratory

seams.

This performance standard indicates commercial dry cleaning, i.e. solvent plus water and

detergent.

The effect of IEC detergent on white and pale coloured cellulose fabrics should be reported.

What is Shrinkage Measurement Tester ?

by Engr. Kh. Mashiur Rahman | Jan 11, 2017 | QC QA

Shrinkage measurement tester

Shrinkage measurement tester is the process in which a fabric becomes smaller than its original size, usually through the process of laundry, especially when applying heat. Shrinkage means dimensional change of knit fabric after certain agencies applied on it. It may be occurred when it is washed and dried or ironed. It may be occurred when it is laundered. The main issue for finishing and knitting

How to calculate the shrinkage?

The remember is that for every 1/8″ the lines shrink, this equals one percent in shrinkage.
Before wash, the lines measured 12.5” so if the fabric measures 12 3/8″ after wash, the difference is 1/8” or 1% shrinkage calculated.
As example- .125/12.5=0.01 x 100 = 1%

What is garments fitting?

Basically the customer’s /wearers’ comfort ability will require on the wearing apparels.
Better appearance will be the second requirement of the well fitted garment.
Different type of fitting problem and its solution
We find deferent type of fitting problem when we wear garment on dummy or human body. Some common problem and its solution given on next slides

Shrinkage procedure

Elastomeric Silicone Micro-emulsion for Shrinkage

Auto is a finishing agent based on elastomeric silicone micro-emulsion stable to shearing forces. It imparts a particularly soft handle and elasticity to a wide range of fabrics.
It can be applied by padding and exhaustion.
The high stability to shearing allows its use on Jet or Overflow machines. Nevertheless, we recommend to perform preliminary trials.
Aqueous dispersions are very stable and the low polarity allows its use with a wide range of finishing agents like fixing agents, electrolytes and resins. It permits to obtain good whiteness without risk for lustre of hue of optical brighteners.

Appearance
Ionic activity
pH (1 % aqueous solution)

Yellow hazy liquid

Non ionic

•   Gives a particularly soft and smooth handle
•   Imparts elasticity and a quick shrinkage to hosiery goods
•   Confers good sewing properties, mainly on synthetic blends
•   Can be used as brushing lubricant for fleece fabric
•   Enhances crease resistant properties of finished garments
•   Can be applied on yarns as knitting and winding lubricant
•   Can be used for all types of fibres including natural/synthetic blends and some uncommon fibres like mohair and silk
•   Is compatible with fixing agents like Croscolor FIX-DRS, glyoxal and resin systems
•   Can be applied by padding or exhaust methods
•   It behaves well to shearing

• By exhaustion

It is recommended to work in slight acid conditions to improve the product build-up. Optimum pH is between 5.5 – 6.5 but an adequate exhaustion is achieved in more neutral medium.
A good stirring is essential to obtain a good absorption and an even repartition.
The level of product to apply depends on different factors like the type of the fibre and spinning (ring or Open-end). In the Open-end system, a higher quantity is needed. A level of
2 – 3 % is recommended to obtain softness with lubricating characteristics and good sewing properties.
It is preferable to dilute Auto with water before addition to winch and other long liquor ratio machines.
A treatment at 40 – 50°C will give a regular exhaustion after 20 minutes.

IMPORTANT

Avoid direct contact of Auto with steam.

To avoid silicone stains, it is recommended to heat the bath at a temperature between
40 – 50°C. Then, add Auto . This temperature must not be modified during the exhaustion of Auto .

• By padding

We recommend a concentration of 20 – 30 g/l of Auto for wet on wet application with a good exchange of liquor.
Stable mixtures with crease resistant resins can be made, but it is nevertheless advised to make some lab trial to check the compatibility.

Fabrics can be dried by usual way. It is not necessary to polymerise at high temperature.

Good hygienic and industrial practices should be followed and, when employed as recommended, Auto will not present any hazard. However, prolonged skin contact with the neat product should be avoided and any splashes on the skin should be washed off with water.
For further instructions, see Auto Material Safety Data Sheet.
A team of trained textile technologists, along with full laboratory, pilot plant and semi-bulk facilities are maintained to carry out any trials or technical service work associated with our products. This team of technologists is available to carry out trials at customer’s premises when appropriate.

These resources are available without any obligation on the customer to purchase our products.
The information given in this leaflet is based not only on work in our laboratories but also on the reported results of other workers in this field. It is offered without guarantee and no patent liability is assumed.

How to Buy Cotton?

Cotton buying is the most important function that contributes to optimum profit of a Spinning Mill.

Quality Evaluation : Cotton quality evaluation is usually based more on experience than on scientific characteristics testing.
Timing of purchase: Purchase timing depends on comprehensive knowledge about various factors which affect prices.
Choosing supplier : Reliable supplier choosing for reliability of delivery schedules & ability to supply within prescribed parameters define cotton quality.
Price bargaining : Bargaining for the lowest price depends on buyer’s reputation for prompt payment & accepting delivery without dispute irrespective of price fluctuations.
Logistic organising : Organising logistics for goods transportation & payment for value of goods enhance benefits arising out of transaction.
Profit making : Profit making depends on producing high quality yarn to fetch high prices. Influence of raw material quality is very important in producing quality yarn. But, quality of yam is a compound effect of quality of raw material, skills of work-force, performance of machines, process know-how of technicians & management expertise.

A good spinner is one who produces reasonably priced yarn of acceptable quality from reasonably priced fibre. Buying a high quality, high priced cotton does not necessarily result in high quality yarn or high profits.

Guidelines for Cotton Contracts:

Buyer & seller should clearly reach correct understanding on following issues:

Country of Origin, Area of Growth, Variety, Crop year
Quality – Based on sample or
1. Description of grade as per ASTM standard or sample,
2. For grade only & specifying range of staple length,
3. Range of Micronaire, range of Pressley value, uniformity,
4. Percentage of short fibre, percentage of non-lint content,
5. Tolerable level of stickiness,
Percentage of Sampling at destination
Procedure for settling disputes on quality or fulfilment of contract obligations.
Responsibility regarding contamination or stickiness.

Choose Correct Supplier or Agent:

Apart from ensuring correct terms of Contract, Buyer should ensure that purchase is made from Reliable Supplier or through a Reliable Agent. Some suppliers evade supplies under some pretext if market goes up. Otherwise, they supply inferior quality either way buyer suffers. By establishing long term relationship with reliable Suppliers, Buyers have satisfaction of getting correct quality, timely deliveries & fair prices. So, it is good to establish long term relationship with a few agents who represent reputed Trading Companies in various Cotton Exporting Countries. They usually give reliable market information on quality, prices & market trends so that buyer can take intelligent decision. As cotton is not a manufactured commodity, it is good to buy from dependable suppliers, who ensure correct quality supply with a variation within acceptable limits at correct price & also deliver on due date.

Choosing Quality:

In a market with varying supply-demand situation buyers should decide which counts of Yarn to be spun & samples to be collected suitable for spinning yarn counts programmed for production. Many spinners plan to do under-spinning. For Example, cotton suitable for 44^s is used for spinning 40^s & some do over-spinning. They buy cotton suitable for 40^s & spin 44^s Ne. But, is advisable to spin optimum count to ensure quality & also keep raw material cost as minimum as possible. Some spinners also buy more than two varieties & blend them for optimum spinning which requires a good knowledge to evaluate cotton quality & co-relate with yarn properties of required specifications. So, cotton buyer should develop expertise in assessing cotton quality. Machine tests are done only to confirm manual evaluation.

Taking Right Option:

It is not advisable just to look at price quoted by supplier. Correct costing should be done to work out actual cost when cotton arrives for being processed. Lower price does not always mean highest profit for buying. Profitability may be affected by factors below:

If trash content is higher, that produce more waste resulting in reducing Yarn out- turn & hence profitability.
If uniformity is less, end-breakages become higher reducing productivity & profitability.
If grade is poorer or immature fibres content is higher, yarn appearance is affected which fetches less price in market.
Longer transit period for cotton transport reduces profitability due to funds blocking for a longer period & increased Bank Interest.
Rate of Sales Tax varies from State to State which should be taken in to account.
Hence, thorough costing should be worked out before deciding on quoted price only.

Profit margin in spinning cotton should be calculated before deciding. Options available depending on market conditions should be studied carefully & factors below to be considered for taking options:

Count for which demand is good in market
Prices for various counts for which demand exists.
Cost of manufacturing various counts.
Adequacy of machinery for selected count.
Various varieties of cotton available for spinning selected count.
Profit margin for each count using different varieties.
Price quoted by different Agents for same variety of selected cotton.
Reliability of supplier for quality & timely delivery.

Cost Consideration:

Apart from price quoted by seller, other incidental costs must be taken into consideration before buying:

Duration for goods to reach Buyer’s mill from seller’s Warehouse as longer time incurs higher interest charges.
Cost of Transportation & Taxes.

Resolution of differences

If any discrepancy arises in quality, weight & delivery periods, sellers should be willing to resolve differences amicably & quickly. In case matter is referred to Arbitrator, award of Arbitrator must be immediately enforced.

Bench Marks for Easy Reference

It is better if quality bench marks are established for different varieties so that buying decisions are easy for buyers. Following standards are found to be appropriate for Strict Middling Grade Cotton of staple 1.3/32″.

Staple-length : ( 2.5% Spun Length) – Minimum 1.08″ or 27.4mm
Micronaire : Minimum 3.8 & Maximum 4.6. Variation within bulk sample should not be more than 0.1.
Colour : Rd not less than 75 not more than 10
Neps Content : Less than 150/gm
Strength : More than 30gm/tex
Length Uniformity Ratio : Not less than 85%
Elongation : More than 8%
Short Fibre Content : Less than 5%
Seed Count Fragments : Less than 15/gm

How to Work with Yarn Examining Board?

by Engr. Kh. Mashiur Rahman | Jan 10, 2017 | QC QA

Yarn Examining Board

Yarn Examining board is used for visual inspection of textile yarn like naps, thick and thin places.

Rotate speed of show board:350r/min with staples speed adjustment

Yarn Mixing

Average Micronaire of mixing should be same for entire lot & difference in average micronaire of different mixings of same lot should not be more than 0.1.
The micronaire C.V% of a mixing should be less than 10%.
The micronaire Range should be same.
Cottons with two different origins should not be mixed.
Cottons with too wide micronaire range should not be mixed.
Cottons with too wide reflectance value (Rd) and Yellowness value (+b) should not be mixed.
Immature fibre content should be lowest as it affects dyeing & results in white-specks.
If automatic bale openers are used, bale lay downs should be done properly, so that different micronaire bales & colours are getting mixed up homogeneously even if small quantity is being checked.
If manual mixing is carried out, bales should be arranged & mixed properly so that different micronaire bales & colours are getting mixed up homogeneously even if small quantity is being checked.
For manual mixing, tuft size should be as low as 10gm.
If contaminated cottons are used, the best way is to open bales into small tufts & segregate contaminants. There are mills that employ around 60-80 persons to pick up contamination from a mixing of 20tons.
Japanese insist on mixing at least 36 bales for one mixing to avoid Barre problem.

Inspection Equipment

The fabric examining machine with variable speed control, overhead light (daylight bulbs) and yardage counter. The machine must be clean with no oil and sharp edges to damage the fabric.

How much fabric to inspect

The garment making factory should inspect 10% of rolls from each delivery at random this should include all colors and dyelots within a delivery. If the results show a high fault rate, then an additional 15% rolls should be inspected. If these fail, the delivery is either rejected or 100% inspected.

Procedure

At the beginning of each roll, a 6” full cutting should be taken as a color reference and checked for side-to-side and side-to-center shading.

This is labeled with fabric reference number or name, batch number, piece number, color number, color name and date.

Width of the fabric between the stenter pins must be measured and compared with the given minimum usable width.

Each roll checked must be stopped at least 3 times during inspection (beginning, middle, end). At these points, side-to-side and side-to-center shading should be assessed.

Side-to-end shading must be checked by comparing the full width cutting to a point in the roll. Also the cutable width (between the stenter pins) should be measured.

The cutable width should be recorded on the inspection report, as should any color shading detected.

Check the fabric length stated on piece ticket against the actual length of roll for variance. Record both the values.

Allotment of points on 4-point system

Flaws	Points given
Up to 3″	1
3″-6″	2
6″-9″	3
More than 9″	4

Points/yards²=Actual points counted x 36” x 100
