WEAVINGCALCULATION

WEAVINGCALCULATION&USEFUL
FORMULAS:
1.Count:
A number indicating the Mass per unit Length OR
The length per unit mass of Yarn.
Expression of the fineness of Yarn.

There are three Systems to Calculate Count 1. Indirect System

2. Direct System
3. Universal System
1 Lea = 120 yd
7 Leas = 1 hank
1 Hank = 840 yds. or 768 meter
1.Indirectsystem
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.DirectSystem
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.UniversalSystem
Count = No of grams per 1000 meters or per km of yarn.

WEAVINGCALCULATION

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

2.TwistperInchormeter(TPIorTPM):
To give strength to the yarn, certain twist is given in the yarn.
TPI vary according to end use of yarn. More twist for warp yarns, medium twist for weft yarns
and less twist for hosiery yarns.
Twist is given in Z direction or S direction.
If twist is given in CW direction it is Z twist.
If it is given in CCW direction it is S twist.
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.MultifilamentYarns
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.

WEAVINGCALCULATION

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

WEAVINGCALCULATION

Production in meters. per 8 hrs.(K) = 480 x mtrs / min x E / 100 Kgs.

Production in Kgs. Per 8 hrs. = (K x N) / (1693 x English Count)
Warping Tension = 0.03 to 0.05 x Single Thread Strength
