Yarn Count

[...]... the count 1 Quadrant balance method 2 Knowles balance 3 Beesleys balance 4 Sliver, roving count by measuring drum 5 Count data system 6 Auto sorter by user 7 Warp reel and balance method Warp reel and balance method: By this standard method of count testing the count of any type of a yarn can be calculated principle: The count of yarn is numerical expression which indicates coarseness or fineness of yarn. .. yarn 8.kolotex: Count in the kilotex system is the weight in the milligram of 1km of yarn 9.Wollen: Count in wollen system is the weight in grain of 20yds of yarns Conversion of count system There are four systems for conversion of yarn count from one system to another system: 1 Indirect to indirect 2 Direct to direct 3 Indirect to direct 4 Direct to indirect Units of length and weight in counting system... the count of yarn of small piece of fabric this balance an be used Figure of some instrument for cotton determination Fig: analytical balance Fig: Sliver roving count by measuring drum Exclusive Data: To determine count of yarn is a process which is an easy task but once the fabric is made and during the process of weaving/bleaching/dyeing etc the yarn count decreases/increases Hence to determine count. .. the respective scale, count is directly measured 3 Three type of scale are present in quadrant balance 4 1.4yds for sliver (hank) 5 2.20yds for roving (hank) 6 3.840yds for yarn (count) 7 the operation is represented 16 times and mean is calculated The mean will be the count Beesley’s balance Scope: when a cotton yarn is supplied in short length or removed from fabric the count of yarn can be measured... spindle: The yarn in he pound per spindle system is the weight in pound of 14400yards of yarns of yarn 4.English system: The yarn number or count is defined as the number of hanks 840yds per pound 5.Metric: It is defined as the no of hanks (1000m)per kg 6.Worsted: It is defined as the number of hanks(560yds) per pound 7.Millitex: Count in the millitex system is the weight in milligram of 1km of yarn 8.kolotex:... line Place the yarn one by one after cutting it according to the template provided till it corresponds to the datum line and the No of yarns would give the Fabric Yarn Count This is the easiest and the most economical method to determine the fabric yarn count by “HIROSHIMA” Beesley Balance Remark: In the conclusion it can be said that by this assignment we know many thing about the count our honorable... taking their means count is calculated direct system Quadrant balance method It is a type of typical balance it is a direct reading instrument The count can be directly measure from quadrant balance Scope: count of small length of yarn up to 40yds can be measured directly from this deveice.the weight of the sample of sample of fabric can also be measure Principle: The count of yarn expression coarseness... fiber of yarn These short length yarns are added on hook until the pointer is opposite to the datum line **the yarn count is the number of fibers required to balabce Working procedure **Firstly the selection of template i.e short (half ) cotton ,long (1/2) cotton this section depends upon available of the sample **the yarn is cut by using template and blade **the cut is hung to the hook and counted... was measured by the warp reel counter 3.In case of cotton the circumference of warp reel is 1yds and required yarn is 120yds again in case of jute warp reel circumference is 2.5yds and required yarn is 300yds 4 In the case of cotton warp reel is drive by motor and jute warp reel is manually operated In the case of cotton yarn stop automatically when the specified amount of yarn is wound on itr 5.The sample... determining yarn count, 1) Indirect system N=L×w/l×W 2) Direct system N=W×l/L Where W=the weight of sample w=the unit of weight of weight of the , system L=the length of weight of the sample l=the unit of length of the system Figure: warp reel and balance Apparatus: warp reel, balance, weight box Specimen: cotton yarns in hank from Working principle: 1.At first warp reel was adjusted accordingly and yarn
