Test 3 Flashcards
what system does not make roving?
Woolen system
anytime you ring spin you need what?
Roving
what does roving come after in the yarn process?
Drawing
why do we need roving?>
To reduce the size
why can’t we have more than a 40 tex draft when ring spinning?
will create variability in the yarn
how do snarls form?
needs to have tension or will wrap around itself
why do we lay in roving?
we need to arrange the coils of each layer right next to each other so we dont have roving wrapping around other roving
what is building in roving?
regulates the length of the layers on the bobbin to form a properly shaped bobbin
why is the flier hollow on one side in roving?
so you can feed the roving down it to support the rover so the extra forces aren’t impacting it
what is the flier responsible for in roving?
putting in twist
why does the flier speed stay constant in roving?
to put in the correct amount of twist
Where does the twist run from?
Back up to the front roll
flyer and bobbin rotate….
in the same direction
bobbin speed is _ than flyer speed
greater
the difference in the bobbin and flyer speed causes
the roving to wind on the bobbin
why does the bobbin move up and down inside the flier?
to make sure we are laying the coils in the proper position
why do we shape the bobbin in roving?
so roving doesn’t get trapped in layers below
what will happen if the wind on velocity isnt constant?
roving will break
how does the rubbing frame work?
two aprons rub together to entangle the fibers
what is different about worsted roving?(3)
bigger rollers, double apron drafting, can get slip draft
what is slip draft?
fibers slip through draw zone,
What holds fibers together with twist?
the force that acts towards the center which increases friction to hold the yarn together
Twist density =
turns per length
what is the helix angle
angle of wrap
what does the helix angle affect?
amount of force in yarn because it is generated by how much twist is put in yarn
small angle of wrap = _ twisted, feels _
lightly, softer
large angle of wrap= _ twisted, _ tension in yarn
high, more
What does TM talk about?
influence of angle wrap
8 influences of twist on yarn properties
hand absorbency luster flexural abrasion resistance special effects contraction strength
how will low twist affect hand, absorbency, luster, flexural endurance
feel softer, more absorbent, more luster, more flexible,
what does a change in contraction cause?
change in yarn count and linear density
assumptions of strength in twist
yarn is made of unbreakable staple fibers and assume we have a continuous filament yarn
what is optimum twist?
maximum strength in the yarn, max twist that allows max strength
short fibers have a _ coherence curve than w long fiber
lower
5 effects of reducing fiber length
- short fibers need more twist to reach strength
- short fibers give lower strength
- short fibers give harder hand
- short fibers give less luster
- short fibers require a higher cost of conversion
5 factors that influence effective staple length
- fiber fineness
- fiber crimp
- fiber finish
- fiber cross sectional shape
- fiber stiffness
why do we do yarn winding
transfer yarns on better suited packages
what is the goal with yarn winding?(5)
large fault free package, no thin and thick, needs to unwind easily, may wax yarn to reduce friction for knitting, efficient package
what is the average number of bobbins put on a package
20
