Blow room of Yarn

  • If micronaire is low, blow room process parameters become very critical like speed frame process.
  • It is better to do a perfect pre-opening & reduce beater speeds in fine opening. If required one more fine opener is used with as low as beater speed, instead of using very high speed in only one fine opener.
  • If micronaire is lower than 3.8, it is not advisable to use machines like CVT4 or CVT3.
  • Neps increase in cotton after blow room process  should be less than 80%.(i.e 180% of raw cotton neps)
  • If neps increase is more, then beater speeds should be reduced instead of feed roller to beater setting.
  • If trash% in cotton is less & neps are more in sliver, no of beating points are reduced. 3 beating points should be more than enough.
  • Variation in feed roller speed should be as low as possible especially in feeding machine.
  • Beater types & specification should be selected properly based on beater’s positions & type of raw material (fibre mike & trash %).
  • The material pressure in ducts should be as high as possible to reduce feeding variation to cards.
  • Feed rollers in chute should work continuously without more speed variation if pressure filling concept is used. (i.e.  Balancing of chute should be done properly). For others, feed roller should work at maximum speed for a longer time.
  • Material density between different chutes should be same & difference should not be more than 7%.
  • Duct pressure difference should not be more than 40 Pascal’s in chute feed system.
  • Air loss should be avoided in chute feed system, to reduce fan speed & material velocity.
  • Blow room feeding should be set in such a way that draft in cards is same for all cards & variation in feed density is as low as possible.
  • Fibre rupture in blow room should be less than 2.5%

Question: How many ways temperature loss from human body?

Ans: Basically, there are four methods of temperature loss from human body. They are-

  1. Conduction
  2. Transmission or convection
  3. Radiation
  4. Perspiration

Human body losses temperature constantly by the above mention method and gain temperature from foods, through metabolic activities.

(b) Mention the human body temperature as per medical science.

Ans: As per medical science, human body core temperature should be 37°c and skin temperature should be 33°c to feel comfortable. Skin temperature may vary from place to place of human body e.g lower at lip of place and hands and highest of under arm when body temperature drops. Then skin of hand, leg, body, face etc. starts working to squeeze blood cells to protect loss of body temperature and maintain constant core temperature of body and brain at 37°c.

(c) Show the relation between TOG value and CLO value.

Ans: Loss of heat through the clothing is expressed by thermal resistance and thermal resistance is expressed by TOG value. Higher the TOG value, higher the thermal resistance means lower heat loss.

In America and some other countries thermal resistance is expressed as CLO value. The relation between TOG & CLO can be expressed as follows-

TOG value= CLO 1.55

(d) Describe the measurement of thermal resistance of clothing ( by TOG method)

Ans: Measurement of thermal resistance of clothing is a very complex process. Thermal resistance of clothing is measured by dividing the thickness of clothing by its conductivity and expressed as TOG which is one tenth of such unit. That means 1 mk/watt= 10 TOG. Higher the value of TOG, lower the heat loss through that clothing. The TOG value and CLO is related as per following equation:

TOG= CLO value 1.55

To measure the thermal resistance of clothing, TOG meter is used. With the help of following sketch the method of thermal resistance measurement is explained.

In this m/c, known temperature of heated plate is passed through the reference sample of known thermal resistance and then through the test sample.

The temperature is measured on the top surface of each layer and thermal resistance of the test sample is calculated by using the following equation.

Where, T= Lower surface temperature of reference sample

T2= Upper surface temperature of reference sample

T3= Upper surface temperature of test sample

Rs= Thermal resistance of test sample

RR= Thermal resistance of reference sample

For the above equation except Rs value, all other values are known hence thermal resistance of any clothing can be determined by using TOG meter.

Question: Write down the fabric construction for fiber fire fighting suit.

Ans: The people engaged in fire fighting needs protective clothing which can save their body and life from the affect of flame and heat. It is sometimes observed the fire fighter becomes injured or even died during fitting against fire for this reasons it is necessary for then to use protective clothing during fight against fire.

Fire fighter suit should be made from three ply fabric:

  1. Outer ply fabric: Outer ply fabric should be flame retardant. Outer lays fabric may be made from aramid fiber, blend of aramid and Novoloid fibre, flame retardant cotton or woolen fiber.
  2. Middle ply fabric: Middle ply fabric should be vapour barrier. It is made of coarse and brushed woolen, works as heat resistant.
  3. Inner ply fabric: Inner ply fabric should be thermal barrier. It works as lining made of light weight cotton fabric.

(b) Describe the fabrics/clothing for coal miners.

Ans: Clothing for the coal miners should be having flame resistant property. Fabrics suitable for this purpose has been developed by IJIRA (Indian Jute Industries Research Association). This fabric is made of jute fibers as per ISO specification 4355-1997 and satisfied all requirements.

This types of fabrics are finished with flame retardant finishing agents. The fabric is normally 183 to 274 cm wide, compactly woven and low air permeability property and this fabric is finished with urea phosphate by pad dry cure method.

This above specified fabric is used for making clothing for the coal miners, have been considered save, comfortable and effective.

(c) Show the effect of fabric construction and garments characteristics on thermal protection.

Ans: Fabric construction and fabric weight plays an important role on the effectiveness of clothing used for different purpose. Higher the thickness of clothing higher the protective index. In the following graph the protective index is shown below

yarn twist

From the graph it is clear that for any fixed weight of fabric (gm/m2) the heat protect index incase with the increase of fabric thickness. It is also clear that for any fixed weight of fabric per square meters. Multilayer fabric shows higher protection performance than single layer fabric.

Fabric structure is also related with heat resistant properly of the clothing. For a fixed weight of fabric (gm/m2) satin and twill weave structure shows better heat resistant property than the plain weave fabric.

Yarn construction of the fabric is also related with heat resistant property of the clothing. Clothing made from more twisted yarn shows better heat resistant property than the clothing made from less twist yarn. The reason behind it is that the heat or flame cannot damage the yarn easily made by more twist method.

What Is Fabric Spirality Tester? Spirality Test Method

Spirality Tester and Test Method

Fabric Spirality tester is a equipment for dimensional distortion in circular plain knitted fabrics. This In House Test Method describes the method of test in order to determine the spirality test method which occurs in a material resulting from laundering procedures. We sale textile machine and garment erp.

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. Wash garments in accordance with relevant cycle of. If a garment is not available make a bag by cutting 2 samples of fabric, place one on top of the other and sew together on three sides leaving one side open. Ensure the open end is perpendicular to the wale direction. Wash as above.

SCOPE

To determine whether weft knitted garments will twist or distort after being subjected to the relevant washing cycle. This test can be carried out on both fabric and garment.

Similar Equipment

Conditioning of Spirality Tester

The test specimens are to be conditioned in the standard atmosphere of 65% Relative Humidity (RH) +/- 2% and 20°C +/- 2°C for a minimum of 4 hours. Preparation of Test Specimens/Materials

Fabric Spirality

  • Fold the fabric along a Wale line.
  • Place the marking template on the fabric parallel to the wales and drawn round.
  • Cut out the double thickness specimen accurately g the knitted wale lines and cut at right angles to these to produce a “bag” square.
  • Note: The second cuts are not necessarily parallel to the knitted courses.
  • Sew the two pieces of fabric together to form an open ended bag i.e. similar to a garment. Overlock the single edges of the fabric to prevent unravelling.

Garment:

  • Test the garment in its finished state.
  • Record whether any spirality test method is present in the garment prior to washing.
  • Measure original length and width dimensions.
  • Note: It is recommended that garments that already exhibit Spirality are not tested because deceptive results will be produced.

Test Procedure

Carry out Washing/Drying procedure as agreed, or specified

Results of Spirality Test Method

  • After conditioning, lay the specimen on a flat smooth surface so that the natural fold in the washed specimen is flat and free from wrinkles.
  • Measure the distance “d” to nearest 1mm from the natural dried fold of the fabric square to the inner edge of the seam (see diagram). Repeat on the other edge by gently lifting back the opposite edge to the seam.
  • On garments these measurements are made at the hem.
  • Measure the length and width dimensions in order to determine the dimensional change.

Effect of Yarn Twist On Spirality of A Fabric.

Finished fabric spirality may vary depending upon yarn twist.

Generally high twisted yarn may cause high spiraled of fabric and vise versa.

We know that,

TPI=TM*(Yarn Count) 1/2

Say for example 30 count yarn:

TPI= 3.5*(30)1/2

= 19.17

For Knit fabric yarn Lowest TM is 3.5 and the Highest TM is 3.7

For Viscose yarn TM is 3.5 because viscose is long staple fiber (near about 38 mm long, where as cotton is near about 28.5 mm long)

For woven fabric yarn, TM is given to 4.5 because woven fabric yarn needs more strength.

    Textile Fiber from Jute

    Another important characteristics of a textile fibre is its dimensional fineness. The thinner are the cross-sectional areas of the filaments the more of them can remain in the cross-section of a yarn of a specified diameter. Thus it follows from the textile considerations that very fine fibres are capable of under going high drafts so as to produce a fairly thin yarn and yet can maintain the requisite yarn strength. But in the case of jute fibre the dimensional fineness is worked out by the breakdown of the meshy structure through machine processing. The fibre entities produced at the card machine have divergent crosswidths and are capable of splitting further laterally to different extend till thein dividuals of similar category of fineness are obtained. B ut even with the finest filaments jute yarn as thin as very fine cotton yarn has not yet been a practical possibility. The thinnest all jute yarn which has been experimentally produced with the existing jute processing machinery is about 1/1/2 lbs/spyndle which is equivalent to only 7’s cotton count whereas the cotton yarn of 100’s count and even finer has been spun. The reason for this lies in the fundamental difference in cross widths of jute and cotton filaments dimensional fineness of jute is about five to ten times bigger than that of cotton. Fineness of individual jute filaments is somewhat, comparable to that of the coarse wool fibres such as corriedale wool. The general impression from the spinner’s point of view that jute is an important textile fibre as it is coarss and rough to the feel and
    does not have the pliability, smoothness and suppleness without fluffiness possessed by a good class textile fibre.

    A jute filament is considered stiff and hard, which mean that the elastic qualities particularly suitable for very fine spinning are lacking with jute. This is because jute prior to mechanical processing needs treated with batching emulsion to improve its suppleness and to reduce its stiffness to some extent. L ow bending property and moderately high tensile elasticity fovour the application of more twist but torsional rigidity of a jute filament is about ten times higher than of cotton and about five times than that of wool fibre. While its torsional rigidity is about two third that of cotton and about three-fourth that of wool.

    With these characteristics of jute in view, possibilities should be explored to break through into specialized outlets in which jute would be able to substitute cotton, wool, linen and other textile fibres natural and synthetics, either as all jute texture or in union or in blends. From the scattered records of indigenous literatures and memoirs of the foreign visitors it is evident of Bangladesh. Mainamati folksongs mention about patsari a kind of all jute handloom cloth which was extensively used by the poor people particularly of the Eastern and Northern Bengal. Dyed jute fabric with red strips was also used for making mosquito nets. Thus there is nothing new about the idea that jute can be made into coarse fabrics for weaving apparel. There has been fantastic changes and innovations made in the textile technology since the handloom age, but in the field of jute spinning not much advancement has been made since the machine processing started at Dundee about the middle of the last century. Neither cotton nor woolen textile machinery can suitably be adopted for jute processing. The present jute processing machinery which are by no means designed to make fine yarns although it has been possible to produce 2/1/2 lbs. yarn with them at a much reduced rate of production

    Raw material (Yarn) used:

    In Auto Knit Fabrics Ltd. cotton of carded, combed, compact, polyester in filament or textured form, mélange of ecru or cotton mélange etc. yarn of different brand used according to buyers’ requirements. Insertion of elastomeric filaments like spandex of various international brands is common here. Stripes are knitted with dyed, undyed, mercerized, non mercerized yarn. Organic cotton yarn can also be provided if required.

    Fabric Design produced:

    Auto Knit Fabrics Ltd. is capable of producing stripes of any width and enormous colors. The engineering stripes machines are used for producing such fabrics. Except this feeder stripes are also produced. Single jersey fabrics and its derivatives like la-cost, polo-pique, terry fleece etc are produced. Rib and interlock fabrics and their different derivatives such as 2×2, 6×3 etc are also produced. Different figured fabrics can be produced by semi jacquard machined by varying the tucking lengths and looping sequences.

    Collar and cuffs of any designs are produced here in the semi jacquard and jacquard machines. The jacquard design can be computerized and easily transferred to the knitting machine by Floppy disks. The yarn that used in the body fabric is also used in producing collar and cuff.

     Production capacity:

    The circular knitting section has 14 – 15 ton per day production capacity.

    Recently it is producing 9 – 10 ton per day.

     Fabric inspection and quality check:

    Before any finishing process quality of a fabric should be inspected. This inspection is done by point systems i.e. for various defects are specified penalty points are given to the faulty fabrics. In Auto Knit Fabrics Ltd. 4 point system is used for fabric quality assurance. Here the maximum defect point is 4.

    In this case if the total defect points per 100 yd2 are 40 or more the fabric should be rejected. Here fabric is checked by two Calator Ruck fabric inspection machine of Germany.

    Remark:

    We complete the training in knitting section in three working days. In this limited time proper observation on every stage of production is not possible. But we tried hard to give our maximum concentration on different stages of production processes. Costing and organ gram is not provided. For this reason these are not included on this report. The individual machinery analysis was not possible due to time shortages. The deviation of general equation of GSM found in the production but reason is still in dark. Data included is collected by asking officials only, from machine logos or from batch cards. For this reason perfection of all data is not claimed.
