Method of Testing for Raw Silk—Part 2

 

In addition to the winding test, size test and breakage length and elongation at break test mentioned in the part 1, the general inspection process of raw silk also includes evenness test, cohesion test, cleanness and neatness test, which will be introduced in part 2 continuously.

Evenness Test

Evenness is an indicator of the uniformity of the thickness of short segments of raw silk.
Under standard illumination condition, the degree of change in the diameter of the silk, as well as its’ transparency and roundness, can be determined by observing the changes in the brightness of the silk sample. The better the evenness of raw silk, the smoother and more uniform the shape of the silk fabric, and the better the color absorption balance.
Apparatus and Equipment Required
1) Seriplane: winding speed is 100r/min, quantity of slices on inspection panel can be adjusted;
2) Inspection panel: 1359*463 mm (L*W);
3) Evenness Standard Photographs;
4) Illumination room: Dark rooms equipped with lighting devices should be isolated from external light, and their walls and blackboards should be coated with black matte paint with uniform and consistent color.
Sample Preparation
Prepare 50 pieces of silk cone from winding test, take two slices from each cone; if the initial sample silk is on cones, take 20 cones directly without further preparation, and take 5 slices from each cone; wind 100 slices distributed on 10 blackboards evenly. The length of every slice is 127mm.

Cohesion Test of raw silk

By means of the Duplan cohesion tester, the number of frictions required to split silk thread for the purpose of examining the state of cocoon filaments sticking together, can be counted.
Sample PreparationThe sample for the test should consist of 20 test pieces taken out of winding test. The yarn should be free from any cleanness defect or apparent evenness defect in the portion, which is to be tested.
Inspection ProcedureThe test is performed in a room where standard humidity can be maintained during the test. The maximum speed of stroke should be 140 strokes per min. The machine should be stopped after every ten strokes and every single yarn inspected very carefully to see if there are any open places. As soon as ten different open spaces, 6 mm long and above are observed, they are recorded against the number of strokes which should be considered as the strokes of the thread opened. The record of the test is the average number of strokes of 20 test pieces. The result of cohesion is recorded by omitting the decimal.

Combing Process in Spinning

Image
Before processing cotton, wool, and silk fibers into fabrics, the process of removing impurities and short fibers in the fibers with a combing machine is called combing. The texture, washability and durability of the fabric produced through this process are greatly improved compared with carded fabrics. The following introduces the composition of the combing machine and the combing process. The kinematic coordination relationship of the main parts on the combing machine is indicated by a dial. The disc is mounted on the combing machine and rotates synchronously with the cylinder, which is generally called the indexing disc. The index plate is divided into 40 equal parts along the circumference, and each equal part is 9°, which becomes one index. The working cycle refers to the time interval between the combing cylinder of the intermittent combing machine corresponding to the two actions of combing the whiskers. That is: the first row of needles in the combing cylinder goes to the botto

Twist Test Methods and Influencing Factors

Image
  Twist test is an important part of yarn inspection. It is related to the strength, elongation, appearance, style, etc. of yarns and fabrics. Different yarns have different structural characteristics, and their twist testing methods are also different. Basic concept To understand twist testing, you must first understand what twisting is. Twisting is a necessary condition for yarn formation. Short fibers can be made into yarns with certain physical and mechanical properties through twisting; filaments often need to be twisted in order to increase the tightness between single filaments, facilitate processing, and improve fabric properties. Number of twists Twisting is to cause two cross-sections of parallel straight fiber slivers to rotate relative to each other. The number of relative rotations of the two cross-sections is called the number of twists. Twist Twist refers to the number of twists per unit length of yarn . Twist coefficient In actual production, the twist coefficient is of

Garment Dyeing-Special Dyeing Method In Textile

Image
Garment dyeing is a relatively special dyeing process for textiles and garments. Many people may not know much about this dyeing process. In the impression of most people, textile and clothing products are dyed in the fabric period, and garment dyeing is a dyeing process that breaks people’s cognitive limitations on textile dyeing. ​What is garment dyeing ​Garment dyeing means that dyeing the one not in the fabric type but in the garment type itself. The garment type mentioned above include socks, towels, sportswear, shirts, plush toys (without fillers), T-shirts, pants, bathrobes, handkerchiefs, bath mats, carpets, scarves, etc. The material of these garments can be wool, linen, silk and cotton of natural fibers. But most garments are made of cotton or a cotton-rich blends. Garment dyeing imparts vibrant colors to garments. The clothes such as denim garments, tops, sportswear and casual clothing with garment dyeing can provide a distinctive special effect. Garment dyeing method Garmen
