Abstract

New types of fibers or yarns are often in the development of high-quality textile products. However, their processability is difficult to estimate or evaluate and is detemlined subjectively by experienced engineers or technicians. Therefore a measurement was developed to define more objectively the processability of yarns, especially the weavability of warp yarns. Warp yarn tensions were measured on a test rig to collect information on weavability. Hair occurrence, entanglement of warp yarns, yarn breakages, and warp tension relaxation were measured and combined with weighting factors to establish a weavability index of the warp yarns. The weighting coefficients were chosen according to the experience of users. Weavability index has the potential to allow the prediction of a yarn's performance it is woven. An example use of the index is discussed.
