Effect Of Tightness Factors On Dimensional Properties Of Knitted Fabric

摘要

Fourteen samples (seven of plain knitted and seven rib type structure) were knitted of 100 per cent acrylic and of different blend proportions (0:100 to 60:40 jute/acrylic) respectively. Each fabric was spun to 20s count on ring spinning and 8s count on rotor spinning system and studied to assess the influence of tightness factor on various dimensional properties of knitted fabrics and relationships existed between tightness factor, density, loop shape factor, area shrinkage and t/1 with respect of jute/acrylic blend composition. It showed a direct relationship of blend composition with tightness, area shrinkage and inverse relationship with stitch density, stitch length, K_c, K_w and K_s factor.
