For cotton yarn, length of 1 Hank = 840 yards. Whenever the type of count is not mentioned
with the count, it is understood that it is the English count.

Count Conversion Table

1) Calculate the length of a package of 80/1 and cone weight

2.083 lb.

3) Calculate the draft at drawing frame if the feeding sliver

is 68 grains/yard, delivered sliver is 48 grains/ yard and the
number of doublings is 8 :Count

5) Calculate the TPI on simplex if the diameter of back roller

is 15/16, rpm of B.R is 10, rpm of flyer is 1000 and draft is 6

=> S.S of F.R = 6 x 29.45 = 176.71/ min
TPI = rpm of flyer S.S of F.R
