مرکز منطقه ای اطلاع رساني علوم و فناوري - A Research on the Relation Between RL Single – Jersey Knitted Fabric Weight and Amount of Yarn Feed

Abstract :

As far as knitted fabric production is concerned, yarn feeding amount used in the knitting machine is one of the factors which affect the parameters of the knitted fabric, particularly the fabric weight. In this study, the effects of different yarn linear densities and different yarn feeding amounts on the parameters of the knitted fabric structures, as well as the relationships between them are investigated. For this purpose, various Single Jersey knit structures were produced on circular knitting machines that have different gauges. Fabrics were produced by circular knitting machines based on RL – Single Jersey knit structure. In the experimental section of this study, Ne 16/1, Ne 20/1, Ne 24/1, Ne 30/1 and Ne 40/1 (Ring) spun yarns as well as knitted fabric samples were produced by 85 different yarn feeding amounts. The parameters of the knitted fabric samples were measured after dry and wet relaxation and then these characteristics were compared.In conclusion, a relationship between the yarn feeding amounts for the knitting machine and the knitted fabric parameters, particularly gram weight, was investigated. A higher correlation was found between the change in yarn feeding amounts and the gram weight of the fabric. Besides, the regression equations of the samples produced from Ne 16/1, Ne 20/1, Ne 24/1, Ne 30/1 and Ne 40/1 cotton yarns were determined and evaluated statistically.
