Abstract

Abstract Strength of the fabric is an important property that decides and influences all other performance properties of the fabric. But though we all understand the importance of the strength of the fabric in daily wear, a systematic approach is required to correlate various strength properties with that of the yarn and fabric construction parameters. We are all aware of the effect of the individual factors like twist, count and cover factor on the strength behaviour of the fabric. However it is necessary to study the effect of all these parameters in combination with each other to ultimately influence the strength of the fabric. Such a study is also useful for designing of the fabric, depending upon the end use and the customer requirement as it is gaining importance in the recent fierce competitive scenario. In this study we have evaluated the strength properties of the fabric with respect to tensile, tear and bursting strength and correlated the results with respect to the yarn count, Twist Multiplier and picks per inch of the fabric using regression equations.
