Various types of rib and interlock fabrics found in the market depend on their structure such as 1× 1 rib, 2 × 1 rib, 2 × 2 rib, 3 × 1 rib, 3 × 2 rib, 4 × 1 rib, 4 × 4 rib and 1 × 1 interlock, 2 × 2 interlocketc. These all types of fabric can be possible to knit in circular knitting machine after machine setting.When these fabrics are knit on the machine, some needles are needed to drop or withdrawnfrom needle groove according to their design such as 1 × 1, 2 × 1, 2 × 2 etc. Due to needle droppingor withdrawing production per hour will changed as production per hour directly depends on theNo. of active needle. No. of needle or active needle depends on machine gauge. This paper gives anew approach for machine gauge which is somewhat different from other thinking. This paper alsoshows the production calculation formula with their machine setting for various rib and interlockfabric with their derivation. By this paper, one can easily understood about machine gaugeand calculated production of any type of rib and interlock knitted structure. Complexity of calculatingproduction can be reduced by this paper.
