Abstract

In compact spinning, fibers in drawing stage are condensed using air suction, which results in the produced yarns which significantly differ from ring spun yarns in their physical and mechanical properties. This study compares between physical properties of compact and ring yarn fabrics woven from coarser and medium yarn counts. The experimental results were statistically analyzed using ANOVA. The findings of this study revealed that woven fabrics produced from compact spun yarns are superior to those produced from ring spun yarns with respect to breaking strength, breaking elongation, abrasion resistance, tearing strength, and air permeability.

Highlights

Compact spinning, which is a modified version of ring spinning, produces a novel yarn structure, and the development of compact spinning has set new standards in yarn structure [1, 2]
It is shown that the weft yarn count was related inversely to the woven fabrics’ breaking load
The results indicated that the fabrics produced with compact spun yarns have better tensile strength results compared to the fabrics produced with conventional ring spun yarns

Summary

Introduction

Compact spinning, which is a modified version of ring spinning, produces a novel yarn structure, and the development of compact spinning has set new standards in yarn structure [1, 2]. The zone between the nip line of the pair of delivery rollers and the twisted end of the yarn is called the “spinning triangle.”. This represents the critical weak spot of the ring spinning process. As the twist insertion takes place very close to the nip line, even short fibers can take up tension This results in increased strength, as more fibers contribute to the yarn strength. Until now there are many studies about the comparison of the conventional ring and compact yarns properties [14–18]. The objective of this study emphasizes the comparison between such fabrics woven from medium and coarser yarns
