Weaving Calculation
FORMULAS:
1. Count:
7 Leas = 1 hank
1 Hank = 840 yds. or 768 meter
1. Indirect system
Total No. of hanks per one pound is the count of that yarn (Ne) i.e. if 10
hanks (10 x 840 yds. or 7680 meters) weighs one Pound or 0.454 Kg, then
the Count of Yarn in indirect system 10s or 10Ne.
This System widely used for staple fiber spun yarns like 100% Cotton,
Viscose, Polyester fibers and their blends.
Higher the yarn Count i.e. Ne the yarn is finer
2. Direct System
Count = Weight in grams per 9000 meters of yarn
In this system the yarn numbering is called as Denier (D)
Higher the yarn number i.e. Denier the yarn is coarser.
3. Universal System
Count = No of grams per 1000 meters or per km of yarn.
In this system count is called as Tex
Commonly used other numbering systems
I. Nf - French count: - It is the No of 1000 meters length in kg of yarn
II. Nm - Metric system: - Count is the No of 1000 meters length per kg. of yarn.
III. Worsted system: - Count is the No. of 560 yards in one lbs.
IV. Linen system: - It is the No. of leas of 300 yards per pound
V. Hemp, Jute, Flax: - Count is the No of 14,400 yards length per pound of yarn
Conversion System
English (Ne) to Denier (D) - Denier = 5315 / Ne
English (Ne) to Tex - Tex = 590.5 / Ne
French (Nf) to English (Ne) - English (Ne) = Nf x 1.181
Single yarns are given Z twist and double yarns are given S twist.
Twist relation for double yarn TPI = 0.7 x Single yarn TPI
3. Multi-filament Yarns
Multi-filament yarn are identified as 80/34/250, 80/34/0, 155/16/120
Here the first number denotes the Denier, second shows No. of filaments in the
yarn
& the last indicate No. of Twist per meter.
4. Winding Calculation
Slub catcher settings:
a. Fixed Blade = Carded - (2.0 to 2.5) x Diameter
Combed - (1.5 to 2.0) x Diameter
b. Oscillating Blade = Smooth micro-set - 25% more than above
c. Serrated Blade = 100% more than the above
d. Electronic yarn clearer = 3 cm x 3 Diameter
