Analysis of spinning process using the Taguchi method. Part Ⅳ: Effect of spinning process variables on tensile properties of ring, rotor and air-jet yarns

摘要

The yarn samples prepared for migration study were tested for tensile properties. Furthermore, the effect of drafts of the spinning machines on yarn strength and breaking elongation (%) was studied. The effect of spinning position, doff position and material conditioning during testing on yarn tensile properties were also accounted for. The ring yarn was seen to have the highest tensile properties, whereas air-jet yarns the lowest. The low elastic recovery of viscose fibres is the cause of weakest and least extensible air-jet yarns.
