Types of Fabric and Their Uses in our life

Types of Fabric and Their Uses
 
Fabric Types:
In today’s modern textile sector, various types of fabric produced for woven, knit and non-woven fabric. This article has presented the total classification of fabric for woven, knit and non-woven.

Classification of Fabric: There are mainly three types of fabric, which are in the below:
  1. Woven fabric,
  2. Knit or knitted fabric,
  3. Non-woven fabric.
All the above fabrics have explained in the following:

Woven fabric:
The fabrics which are produced by interlacing two sets of yarn i.e. war yarn and weft yarn by in is termed as woven fabric.

WINDING CLASSIMAT FAULTS

Image
There are two types of yarn faults, Frequently occurring faults and Seldom-occurring faults. 1.     Frequently occurring faults : This  type of faults includes  thin, thick and neps as measured by evenness tester. These faults occur in the range of 10 to 5000 times per 1000 meters 2.     Seldom occurring faults : Theses faults refer to the thin places and thick places in the yarn, which are so seldom occurring for atleast 100 km of the yarn. The seldom occurring faults can be grouped in three main types Short thick, Long thick and Long thin faults. Classifications of  faults : This will provides a detailed break-up of yarn faults based on the length and dimensions of the faults. There are totally 23 types of faults, each fault is identified by an alphabet and a number. The alphabet ‘A’ to ‘G’ indicates the thick yarn faults while the letters ‘H’ and ‘I’ represent thin faults. The Number 1 represents a faults of size +100 t...

Linkcone Winding Alarms

WINDING ALARMS IN LINKCONER: 1) NSA - NEPS SHORT ALARM 2) LA - LONG ALARM 3) TA - THIN ALARM 4) CA - COUNT ALARM 5) CCA - CONTINUOUS COUNT ALARM 6) FA - FOREIGN ALARM 7) PFA - PERIODIC FAULT ALARM 8) CVp - COUNT VARIATION PLUS 9) CVm - COUNT VARIATION MINUS 10) IPI- IMPERFECTION ALARM 11) U - UPPER CUT ALARM 12) A - ADDITIONAL CUTS ALARM  Above all alarms or faults generate in pre-spinning and spinning process and removed in post spinning process called winding by the help of EYC ( Electronic Yarn clearer) . For example Loephe & Uster Quantam series yarn clearer. Faults or Alarm generated by or to reduced by following quality checking :

CLASSIFICATION OF YARN FAULTS

Assessment of Classimat faults  in classimat tester : Due to the existence of fewer faults and nature of distribution of these faults, it is recommended to take randomly at least 5 tests of each 100km of yarn. The testing yarn has to be carried out on a winder having a uniform winding speed. Once the testing is over, the results are in the form of printout. And it contains two sets of data, the one is Individual faults & other one is cumulative faults / 100km of yarn. And the major causes of the Classimat faults are tabulated below : SHORT THICK FAULTS :            A4 -High Ring frame speed -Loose (or) Spun in fly -Foreign matter -Type of spacers          B4 -High Ring frame speed -Loose (or) Spun fly -Floating fibers -Narrow cage length and tight cage length              ...
