Analysis of the Performance of Sewing Threads Manufactured from Conventional and Compact Ring-Spun Yarns Sevil Yeşilpınar Analysis of the Performance of Sewing Dokuz Eylul University Threads Manufactured from Conventional Department of Textile Engineering 35100 Bornova, İzmir, Turkey E-mail: [email protected] and Compact Ring-spun Yarns Abstract The compact spinning system produces a yarn structure which is different from the structure of conventional spun yarn as the result of the elimination of the spinning triangle. New perspectives introduced by compact spinning have proved their worth in all textile processes, from yarn production to the finishing stages. In this study, the seam strengths of sewing threads produced by conventional and compact spun-ring systems were investigated together with strength tests before and after washing. The results were evaluated with SPSS software. It was found out that the difference between the seam strength of sewing threads produced from conventional ring and compact yarns were not of major statistical significance, and nor was the difference in seem strength before and after washing. Additionally, the effect of the gassing process on compact sewing threads was established. The results allow us to recommende that the gassing process should not be applied to sewing threads made of compact yarns.

Which has formed a clear specification and strict classification system even teaching materials in Eighteenth Century. Based on the existing material objects and teaching materials, this paper systematically sorts out the variety system of French silk fabrics, makes a detailed classification of varieties, and analyzes the political factors of the prosperity and development of French silk industry in the 18th century. 1. Preface The history of silk in France was not very long, but it indeed reached the peak of the world and was extremely glorious. Especially around the 18th century, which can be divided into four periods. For starters, the country supported silk industry by making policies under king Louis XIV's reign, and then, lots of technique innovations appeared during the reign of king Louis XV. What’s more, flourishing period of silk in France started when Louis XVI succeeded. However, it was the French Revolution that made a huge decline of silk industry.

  • Double Purpose Linseed: a Viable Option for Doubling Farmers' Income in the North-Western Himalyan Region
    Indian Farming 68(01): 49–54; January 2018 Double purpose linseed: a viable option for doubling farmers' income in the north-western Himalyan region P. K. Singh1 and Pankaj Chopra2 CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidhyala, Palampur (Himachal Pradesh) 176 062 Linseed is a rabi crop, grown both for seed and fibre since long time. In general, the dual purpose linseed varieties bred in warm climates were inferior in fibre fineness than those in cold climates. Improved production techniques of dual purpose linseed for this region will certainly be helpful in changing the production status of linseed, which will not only increase the income of farmers but also help in employment generation for rural and urban masses along with smart earnings of foreign currency to improve agro socio-economy. A good crop of dual purpose linseed can be obtained by adopting Nagarkot, Jeevan and Him Alsi-2 varieties under irrigated situation (2-3 irrigation) during first fortnight of October using 40 kg seed/ha at row distance of 23 cm, fertilizer application of 50:40:20 N:P2O5 and K2O along with need based plant-protection measures. Net monetary return (`/ha) and production economics of dual purpose linseed clearly revealed that the income of farmers can be doubled through the adoption of recommended agro- production technologies. Development of improved varieties having quality fiber with good seed yield, refinements in post-harvest technologies especially retting and scutching and suitable government policies are essential for the promotion of dual purpose linseed.

  • Analysis of Changes in Fiber Density Distribution in a Cotton Combed Spinning System Using Modified Regulation of the Sliver Draft
    AUTEX Research Journal, Vol. 19, No 1, March 2019, DOI: 10.1515/aut-2018-0022 © AUTEX ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN FIBER DENSITY DISTRIBUTION IN A COTTON COMBED SPINNING SYSTEM USING MODIFIED REGULATION OF THE SLIVER DRAFT Marek Idzik Technical University of Łódź Department of Material and Commodity Sciences and Textile Metrology ul. Żeromskiego 116, 90-924 Łódź, Poland e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Shortening the technological spinning processes, aiming at the reduction in production costs, causes problems with keeping up a high quality of yarn. Of great significance is the use of autolevellers that not only equalize the distribution of fiber linear density but also straighten the fibers and lay them parallel to the product axis. Consequently, they replace the machines eliminated from technological lines and contribute to the improvement in the quality of intermediate products and yarns. Using an example of the cotton combed spinning system, the article presents the analysis of the possibilities of using a short-term autoleveller with a modified operation algorithm that takes into account the phenomenon of sliver retardation after the process of short-term regulation. The regulation of draft was used before and after combing. The quality parameters of slivers used for feeding roving frames or rotor spinning machines were analyzed. Keywords: draft regulation, sliver, fiber combing. Introduction Aim and object of study The aim of all the spinning systems is to produce yarn with The aim of the study was to assess the effect of short-term the best possible quality parameters and the highest efficiency. regulation of the sliver linear density uniformity on the quality In many cases, an increase in machine efficiency results of slivers used for feeding roving frames and classic spinning in the deterioration in yarn quality.
