Application of an automatic yarn dismantler to track changes in cotton fibre properties during processing on a miniature spinning line

Author: Fassihi, A ; Hunter, Lawrance Date: Nov 2014 This paper reports on the application of a newly developed automatic yarn dismantler for dismantling short staple ring-spun yarns, to track changes in cotton fibre properties from lint to yarn, during processing on a miniature spinning line. ...

Assessment of the spinning potential on the short staple system by the MSS technique. Part 1: An introductory study

Author: Thierron, W Date: Aug 1984 The Mean Spindle Speed at Break (MSS) test was developed at SAWTRI for assessing the spinning potential of wool on worsted ring spinning machines. Read more
Blending of two cottons differing widely in fibre properties

Author: Aldrich, V Date: May 1976 Two cottons differing by 4.2 mm in their 2.5 % span lengths (30.9 and 26.7mm) and by 6.1 cN/tex in their zero gauge bundle tenacities were blended and the resultant yarn and fabric properties measured. Read more
Fibre, yarn and fabric properties of South African indigenous goat hair

Author: Botha, Anton F ; Roux, JA Date: Nov 2008 South Africa has over 4 million indigenous goats (Boer, Savannah and Nguni/Mbusi breeds), many of which have two coats of fibre, namely a cashmere like fine down and a coarse guard hair. These goats are primarily kept for their meat, milk and ... Read more
Hybrid composites

Author: John, Maya J ; Anandjiwala, RD ; Thomas, S Date: Apr 2009 The incorporation of several different types of fibres into a single matrix has led to the development of hybrid biocomposites. The behaviour of hybrid composites is a weighed sum of the individual components in which there is a more favourable ... Read more
Processing performance of South African wools on the woolen system of manufacture Part I: The effect of fibre properties on spinnability

Author: Van der Merwe, JP Date: Feb 1986 Sixty-eight wool blends were processed on the woollen system and were assessed for spinnability by means of a Mean Spindle Speed at Break test. Spinnability improved as mean fibre length increased but deteriorated as mean fibre length increased ... Read more
A review on the formation, causes, measurement, implications and reduction of neps during cotton processing

Author: Van der Sluijs, MHJ ; Hunter, Lawrance Date: Dec 2016 Neps not only adversely affect the appearance of cotton yarns and fabric but are also usually associated with lower yarn strength, ends down in spinning and less-uniform yarn. Depending on the type and size of the nep, the appearance of dyed ... Read more
Some typical single fibre tensile properties for wools produced in South Africa

Author: Smuts, S ; Hunter, L ; Van Rensburg, HLJ Date: Sep 1981 Single fibre tenacity, extension at break and initial modulus were measured on a large number of wool samples covering a wide range of diameter and crimp. Read more
Textiles: Some technocal information and data II: Conversion factors, fibre properties, spinning limits, typical twist factors, weaving performannce and transfer printing temperatures.

Author: Hunter, Lawrance Date: Jul 1978 The response to part 1 of this series has been so good that it was considered worthwhile to extend the work to cover a wider field. This publication therefore contains material not covered in part 1, although it also supplements and updates ... Read more
