Average Count Formula
Average Count Formula
length, take a suitable length unit in kilometer. Then determine separately the weight in grams of
this length unit of yarn of each count by simply multiplying the length unit of the yarn by it’s
count number. Now, the total length of the yarns and their weight being known, calculate the
average count by using the formula,
If the lengths of the yarns of different counts are not same, and the length of the yarn of each
count is given, then calculate the weight in grams of the yarn of each count separately by
multiplying the length by it’s corresponding weight. Then add the length of all the yarns
together. Similarly add the weight of all the yarns together. From the total length in kilometers
and the total weight in grams, so obtained, calculate the formula given above.
Where the corresponding weight of yarn of each count is given, then proceed in the following
manner:
Calculate separately the length of the yarn of each count in kilometers by simply dividing the
given weight in grams by it’s count number. Then add the length of all the yarns together. Also
add the weight of all the yarns together. From the total length in kilometers and the total weight
in grams, so obtained, calculate the average count by applying the formula given above.
The methods of calculations shown above would apply where the counts of the yarns are
expressed in any direct system, except that the appropriate length and weight units of the direct
system in question have to be used in place of kilometers and grammes respectively.
Example 01:
Calculate the average count of 10 tex, 15 tex, and 20 tex yarns. The length of yarn in each case is
same.
Solution:
Then,
We have,
Total length 3 kilometers and total weight 45 grams.
Therefore,
45
= ………
3
= 15 tex.
Example 02:
A warp contains yarns of the following particulars:
Solution:
Then,
Therefore,
Average count in tex,
760
= ………….
20
= 38 tex.
Example 03:
Calculate the average count of 240 grammes of 16 tex, 625 grammes of 25 tex, and 720 grammes
of 36 tex yarns.
Solution:
240
= ………..
16
= 15 kilometers ………………(1)
Again,
625
= ……………
25
= 25 kilometers ……………(2)
And,
The length of 720 grammes of 36 tex yarn,
720
= …………..
36
= 20 kilometers ………………(3)
Therefore,
1585
= …………….
60
= 26.4 tex
