Nep count
Neps are pin head size specks of rolled up cotton fibers
Standard nep count ; neps per 625 sq.cm , web from
100 cms wide card producing 0.12 hank sliver. This can
be calculated from below formulae
Standard nep count = Avg. no of neps per board

x 625

QUIZ

9TT-303 / 3301.47

15

 Production of card depends on

1) licker-in speed
2) feed roller speed
3) doffer speed
4) flats speed

9TT-303 / 3301.47

16

As the hank of Sliver increases, the doffer speed is to be

1) Increased
2) Decreased
3) Independent
4) None

9TT-303 / 3301.47

17

The speeds of carding machine elements for man-made

fibers when compared to natural fiber are
