Weaving Calculation

warp count X weft count

X Fabric width.
EPI X PPI

Problem: Fabric specification:

10 8
60
70 50

1.

Calculate

the

fabric

weight of 1000m.
2.

Calculate

production

per

hour

PPM=180

Solution:
Warp calculation
EPI = 70
Width of fabric = 60 inch
So, Total no. of warp = 70 X 60 = 4200
Now, Length of each warp = 1000m + 1000 X 3%
= 1030m.

[3% = crimp]

Total length of the warps = 4200 X 1030

= 4326000m.
= (4326000 X 1.09) = 4715340 yards
Total weight of the warps

4715340
pounds
840 x 10

[warp count = 10]

= 561.35 pounds
Weft calculation
PPI = 50
Fabric length = 1000 meter
= 1000 X 39.37 inch = 39370 inch
So, Total no. of wefts
= 50 X 39370
Now, Length of each weft = 60 + 60 X 5%
= 63 inch = 63/36= 1.75 yards

[crimp = 5%]

Total length of the wefts

= 50 X 39.37 X 1000 X 1.75 yards
= 3444875 yards

if

Total weight of the wefts

3444875
Pounds
840 x 8

[Weft count = 8]

= 512.63 pounds
So total weight of fabric
= 561.35+512.63 =
(Answer)
= 1073/2.2
= 487.72 kg

1073.98

pounds

(Answer)

Again, we know, loom production

= PPM/PPI
= (180/50) inch/minute
= 3.6 inch/minute
= (3.6 X 60)/36
= 6 yards/hour
(Answer)
= (6/1.09) = 5.50 meter/hour (Answer)

Alternate solution:

10 8
60
70 50

Fabric specification:

Warp calculation
Weight of warps in Kg

EPI Width (inch) Length (m) 1.03 1.09

840 x Count (Ne) 2.2
70 60 1000 1.03 1.09
=
840 x 10 2.2

= 255.16 kg
Weft calculation
PPI Width (inch) Length (m) 1.05 39.37
36 840 x Count (Ne) 2.2
50 60 1000 1.05 39.37
=
36 840 x 8 2.2

Weight of wefts in Kg =

= 233.01 kg
So total weight of fabric

= 255.16+233.01

Again, loom productions in meter/hour =

=

180 60
50 1.09 36

= 488.17 kg

PPM 60
PPI 1.09 36

(Answer)

= 5.50 meter/hour
