A STUDY ON SPINNING LIMITS AND YARN PROPERTIES WITH PROGRESSIVE CHANGE IN YARN COUNT IN FRICTION SPINNING
S. K. Sinha, R. Chattopadhyay- General Materials Science
Abstract The spinning limit for three different fibres (cotton, viscose rayon and polyester) on a Dref-3 friction spinning machine has been investigated. The change in yarn properties with progressive change in count has also been reported. The count range has been seen to be dependent on fibre type. As one progresses from very coarse to fine counts, the yarn tensile property remain fairly unaltered for cotton, but changes for polyester and viscose yarns.
