Abstract:

A calculation equation of the fibre number on the cross-section of ring-spun yarn was deduced theoretically and verified with test data of 20 representative pure cotton ring spun yarns. The equation is practical and convenient to use by substituting the yarn count, yarn twist, and fibre decitex. On the basis of the above equation, a yarn strength predication model was established. The revising functions of yarn count and twist to yarn strength were deduced in practical tests of the strength of 20 commonly used ring-spun yarns, and were used to revise the yarn strength predication model obtained. Substituting the fibre decitex, fibre strength, yarn count, yarn twist and yarn strength can be precisely calculated with this model.
