PARAMETERS AFFECTING THE PROPERTIES OF THE S PLICED COTTON/ELASTANE BLENDED CORE YARNS

In this study, cotton/elastane blended core yarns in the yarn count of 20 tex with different twist factors and elastane linear densities were produced in order to determine the parameters which affect the properties of the splicing zone in winding process. After several trials, it is observed that the parameters affecting the breaking strength are splicing air pressure, splicing time, twist factor and elastane linear density for cotton/elastane yarns spliced with the elasto-splicer. The parameters which affect breaking elongation and the diameter of the spliced yarn are splicing air pressure and twist factor.
