Some important Weaving Calculations

Reed Count
It is calculated in stock port system.No. of dents in 2 inches is called Reed Count.
Reed Count = EPI/(1 + Weft crimp %age)
Reed Width
Reed Width = Cloth Width *(100+ weft crimp %age)/100
Crimp Percentage
Crimp %age = {(Warp length - Cloth length)/Cloth Length}* 100
Crimp %age = {(Warp width - Cloth width)/Cloth width}* 100
Cloth Cover Factor



Cloth Cover Factor = Wp.C.F +Wt.C.F. - {(Wp.C.F. - Wt.C.F)/28}
Maximum EPI for particular count




other design = (Ends /Repeat * 1/Yarn Diametre)/ (No of intersections/repeat+ ends/repeat)

Warp Density



= <350
Weave Density = 50+{(Warp Density - 100) * F.D - 100} /{(Weft Density - 100)* F.D - 100}
Effective Weave Density = W. D x K of loom width x K of Design
= < 72
Wp / filling - K Loom Width - K Weave Design - K
Cotton = 1.00 140 cm - 0.99 Plain1/1 = 1.00
Polyester/Cotton = 1.03 180 cm - 1.00 Twill 1/2 = 0.87
Viscose Filament = 1.17 190 cm - 1.01 Matt, Gabardine 2/2 = 0.82
Wp / filling - K Loom Width - K Weave Design - K
Polyester Filament = 1.22 220 cm - 1.02 Drill 1/3 = 0.77
250 cm - 1.08 Satin 1/4 = 0.69
330 cm - 1.15
360 cm 1.20
To change the count and the number of thread / inch , keeping the same denseness of fabric
To change the count without altering the denseness of the fabric
EPI in Exp.cloth = (EPI in exp.Cloth
2
/EPI in given cloth) * count in given cloth
To change the EPI without altering the denseness of the fabric

Warp requirement to weave the cloth

Warp weight in grams /metre = {(Total Ends * 1.0936 * 453.59 * crimp %)/(840 * count)} *
wastage %
Weft weight in grams /metre ={(R.S. in inches * 453.59 * PPI)/(840 * count)} * wastage % *
crimp %
Cloth length in metres with given weft weight=( weft weight in kgs * weft count * 1848 *
0.9144)/(PPI * R.S in inches)

For silk and Polyester
Warp weight in grams /metre ={(Total Ends * count (Denier) )/9000} * wastage % * crimp %
Weft weight in grams /metre = {(R.S in inches * count(Denier)* PPI)/9000}* wastage % *
crimp %

Allowance for count in bleached and Dyed fabric
1.Count becomes 4%
2. FinerDyed counts become max 6% Coarser

Fabric Production Calculation

Loom Speed = Motor RPM * (Motor Pully Diametre)/(Loom Pully Diametre)
Loom Effeciency Percentage = (Actual Production/Calculated Production )* 100
Moisture Regain Percentage = {(Yarn Weight - Dried Yarn Weight)/Dried Yarn weight} * 100
Moistue Content Percentage = {(Yarn Weight - Dried Yarn Weight)/Yarn weight} * 100
Type of Yarn Moisture Regain % Moisture Content %
Cotton 8.50 7.83
Jute 13.75 12.10
Type of Yarn Moisture Regain % Moisture Content %
Silk 11.00 9.91
Rayon, Viscose 11.00 9.91
Wool 17.00 14.50
Nylon 4.20 3.78


Warp Weight in Kg = (Total Ends * Tape Length in metres)/(1693.6 * Warp Count)
Weft Weight in Kg = (R.S in centimetres * cloth length in metres * PPI )/(4301.14 * weft
Count)
Cloth weight in GSM = {EPI/Warp Cout)+(PPI/Weft count)}* 25.6
oz (ounce ) per sq. yard = GSM(Grams per sq. metre)/34
Material Measurement
To calculate the length of any rolled fabrics, this formula gives the nearest accuracy.
L = {0.0655(D-d)(D+d)}/t
Where L = Length of material (Feet) t = Thickness of fabrics (inches)
D = Outside diameter (inches) d = Inside diameter (inches)


Weight of yarn in a cloth
The weight of cloth manufactured on looms depends upon the weight of yarns in thewarp
and weft: ends/inch, picks/inch and the weight of size on the warp. Therefore,
Cloth weight = Weight of warp + Weight of weft + Weight of size (All inlbs.)
Where as Weight of warp in lbs. = (Total No. of Ends * Tape Length in Yards)/(840 * warp yarn
count)
