WEAVING ,TXD 401, WEAVING CALCULATIONS

Dents:
the space between two metalic stripes of reed is called "DENT "
Dents/inch:
total number of dents in one inch of a reed is called dents /inch
Reed Number /Reed count :
the dents /inch of a reed is called reed number or reed count
e.g if a reed has 40 dents in 1 inch, then reed count or reed number is 40.
Reed Filling:
it is the number of threads passing though 1 dent of a reed.
there can be 1,2 or 3 number of threads passing though 1 dents.
as the number of thread passing through one dent increases fabric appearance become thicker.
Total reed width:
it is the total space of a reed that will be used to fill up with yarn.
Warping:
warping is a process which is used to achive following objectives for weaving
A) To get the total number of threads that will be required to fill the reed.
B) To get the total length of yarn required for weaving of the fabric.
Total warping length:
the total warping warping length includes:
1) the waste yarn that will be remained on loom after weaving is completed.
2) the yarn that will be used to weave the fabric.
the space between 2 stripes of
reed is called "dent"
TO CALCULATE THE TOTAL THREADS REQUIRED IN A REED
Total threads required for weaving
Reed Count x Reed filling x Total Reed Width
40 x 2 x 14 :
1120
560 ( divide the total threads with reed filling) Total reed dents
it means that there are 40 dents in one inch of the reed
it means that there are 2 threads passing through one
dent of the reed
it means that 14 inch of the reed dents will be filled
1120
