Determination of yarn twist through electric twist tester (Direct Counting Method).
Name of the Experiment: Determination of yarn twist through electric twist tester (Direct Counting Method). Introduction: Twist: Twist is the spiral arrangement of the fibers around the axis of the yarn. The twist binds the fibers together and also contributes to the strength of the yarn. The amount of twist inserted in a yarn defines the appearance and the strength of the yarn. The number of twists is referred to as turns per inch. Types of twist: 1. S - Twist 2. Z – Twist Twist Measurement in Yarn: The most obvious way to measure the number of twists per unit length of yarn is simply to untwist a known length of the yarn and check visually to see whether the twist has been completely removed. Method of twist Measurements: 1. Straightened fiber technique or the direct count method. 2. Twist contraction technique or the untwist and re-twist method. 3. Twist to break technique. 4. Microscopic Objectives: 1. To know how to determine the yarn twist. 2. To know about electric t
