PREVIOUS TEST Flashcards
why is roving necessary?
to reduce size, sliver is too big to come straight our of the drawframe and go immediately to spinning
what are the 5 actions in roving?
- Drawing: reduces size
- twisting: add cohesion/strength
- make roving: wind on a package
- laying: make sure there is not gaps
- building: properly shaped bobbin
what is balloonless spinning
we deflate the balloon and put a crown on-top of the spindle, the yarn goes through the crown and the crown forces the yarn to collapse around the bobbin without going too far out
8 influences of twist on yarn properties
- hand
- luster
- abrasion resistance
- absorbency
- special effects
- flexural endurance
- contraction
- strength
in ring spinning, the amount of tension on the yarn is due to what 6 factors
- yarn size
- yarn speed
- travelor speed
- travelor weight
- surface area of balloon
- ring spinning
what 3 things characterize twist in short staple yarns?
- twist angle
- twist direction
- s or z twist
list the 5 effects of reducing staple length
- short staple needs more twist
- not as strong
- more expensive
- less luste
- harder hand
T or F: In worsted spinning rings and travelers are sometimes lubricated to reduce friction and temp
T
T or F: in ring spinning, end breaks are a result of too little tension in the yarn and high yarn variability
F
T or F: ribboning in winding is due to the traverse shift being too large
F
T or F: in 2 for 1 twisting the second turn of twist is inserted as a result of the package turning
F
T or F: woolen ring frame spinning uses card roping
T
T or F: rubbing frames run about twice as fast as roving frame
T
T or F: in ring spinning the spindle speed lags behind the travelro speed to casue winding to occur
F
T or F:In the production of roving for producing woolen yarns single zone drafting and a slip-drafting system are used
F
T or F:in winding of roving onto a package, as the bobbin speed increases the flyer speed must also increase
F
T or F: the goal in splicing is to have the yarn diameter after splicing be no more than twice the original yarn diameter
F
list the 3 tyoes of irregularity in drawn sliver that are related to machine defects or poor maintence
- roller speed variation
- fiber slip
- roller nip movement
T or F: in open end spinning the rotor design and size is selected based on fiber type and desired production speed
F
T or F: compact spinning is a modification to the rotor spinning machine which allows for better twisting of edge fibers to create a stronger yarn
F
T or F: air jet yarns have a parallel core of cotton fibers held together by abdns of polyester wrapper fibers
F
T or F: ring spun yarns are stronger than open end spun yarns
T
T or F: tow to top changes filament yarns into baled fibers
F
T or F: edge crimping as a texturing method was not very successful because of the difficulty in getting large denier filaments to curl
