Textile Quality Evaluation - Assignment No.

Calculations:

1. Length of the yarn = 500 metres; Weight = 500 grams. Find the
count in Tex, Ne, Nm and Denier.
Solution:
• Tex = (500 g * 1 g) / (500m/1000m) = 1000 Tex
• Ne = (500*1.094/840)/(500/453.6) = (0.6512/1.102) =0.591 Ne
• Nm = (500/1000)/(500/1000) = 1 Nm
• Denier = (500g*1g) /(500m/9000m) =9000 D

2. If C.V% of the fibre = 5% and No. of fibres in the cross section =

2000 Then calculate C.V% of the yarn?

Solution:
Basic irregularity or limit irregularity:
Vr2 = 1002/N + Vm2/N

Vr = C.V % of weight /unit length of yarn

N= Avg. No. of Fibres in the Cross section of the strand
Vm = C.V % of the fibre weight/unit length

Vr2 = 1002/2000 + (5)2/2000 = 5.0125

Vr = 2.239
3. If the cotton yarn Tex is 50 and its fibre Tex is 1 then calculate the

limiting irregularity (CVeff) of the yarn?

Solution:
Formula ---- CVlim = 100/√n =100√ (Tf/T)
n = no. of fibres in cross section
Tf = fibre fineness in Tex
T = count of the sliver or roving or yarn in Tex
CVlim = 100√ (Tf/T) = 100√ (1/50) = 14.14

4. A cotton yarn of 6 Ne has a measured or effective irregularity of

CVeff = 9.3 %. The fibre fineness is 4.5 μg/inch. The limiting

irregularity CVlim and the index of irregularity (I) are to be
determined. CVeff = 5%

Solution:
n (no. of fibre in cross section) = 15000/ (μg/inch * count in Ne)
= 15000/ (4.5 * 6)
n= 556
CVlim = 100/√n = 100/√556 = 4.24 %

Index of Irregularity (I) = I = CVeff/CVlim

= 5/4.24 = 1.18
5. A woolen yarn Nm =10 with a mean fibre diameter of df = 24 μm

has a measured irregularity of CVeff =13.5 %.Calculate the

limiting irregularity and index of irregularity of the yarn. CVd =
25%.

Solution:
Step 1 :find yarn tex by Convert Nm to Tex -- Tex = 1000/Nm =
1000/10 =100 Tex

Step 2 : find fibre tex - = 0.00103*(24)2 = 0.5934

Step 3 : find n = T/Tf = 100/0.5934 = 168
Step 4:

CVlim = (100 (√(1+ (0.0004*CVd 2 )))/ √n = 8.6

I = CVeff/CVlim = 13.5/8.6 = 1.57

6. If the cotton yarn Tex is 100 and its fibre Tex is 1 then calculate
no. of fibres in cross section of yarn.
Solution:
n = T/Tf = 100/1 = 100
7. The woolen yarn count is 15 Nm with a average diameter of wool

fibre (df) is 22 μm. CVeff of woolen yarn is 10 %. Calculate the

limiting irregularity and index of irregularity of this yarn. CVd of
wool fibre = 25%
Solution:
Yarn Tex = 1000/Nm = 1000/15 =66.67 Tex

Fibre tex = = 0.00103*(22)2 = 0.5 tex

n = T/Tf = 66.67/0.5= 133

CVlim = (100 (√(1+ (0.0004*CVd 2 )))/ √n = 9.69

I = CVeff/CVlim =10/9.69 = 1.03

8. A draw frame sliver with a CV value of 4% is presented to the

speed frame. The resulting roving has a CV value of 8.4%.The

yarn spun from this roving has an overall CV =14.5%.How much
the irregularity introduced by roving and ring frame.
Solution:
Roving Dept :
CV input = 4% (CV of sliver)
CV output = 8.4% (CV of roving)
CV2 input + CV2 m/c = CV2 output
16 + CV2 m/c = 70.56
CV m/c = √(70.56 – 16) = 7.39 %
Ring frame Dept :
CV input = 8.4 % (C.V of roving )
CV output = 14.5 % (CV of yarn )
CV2 input + CV2 m/c = CV2 output
70.56 + CV2 m/c = 210.25
CV m/c = √(210.25 – 70.56) = 11.81 %

9. A blended manufactured according to the worsted spinning

process contains 45% wool and 55% synthetic staple material and
has a yarn count of Nm 30.The fibre fineness for the synthetic
fibre material is 0.44 tex and the men fibre diameter is 27.5 μm.
Calculate the limiting irregularity of the blended yarn. CVd of
wool fibre is 25%
Solution:
Blended Yarn Tex = 1000/Nm = 1000/30 = 33.33 Tex

= (33.33 * 45)/100 = 15 tex

= (33.33* 55)/100 = 18.3 tex

CVlim for synthetic part =100√ (Tf/T) =100√ (0.44/18.3)
= 15.51 %

To find out “n” of woolen yarn

=0.00103 (27.5)2
= 0.779
 n = woolen yarn Tex/wool fibre Tex = 15/0.779 =19.2
CVlim of wool part = (100 (√(1+ (0.0004*25 2 ))))/ √19.2 = 25.5 %

= √ (25.5 *15)2 + (15.51 *18.3)2

15+18.3
= 14.3 %

10. A draw frame fed with 8 cotton sliver with mean CV of 2.8%.The

CV of the output from the draw frame is 2.5 %.How much

irregularity introduced by draw frame?

Solution:

CVcard sliver = x CV single card sliver /√n n= no.of doubling

CVcard sliver = 2.8/√8 = 1 %

CV2 input + CV2 m/c = CV2 output

1+ CV2 m/c = 2.52
CV m/c = √6.25-1 = 2.3 %
