Some important Weaving Calculations 1. Reed Count It is calculated in stock port system.No. of dents in 2 inches is called Reed Count.

Reed Count = EPI/(1 + Weft crimp %age) 2. Reed Width Reed Width = Cloth Width *(100+ weft crimp %age)/100 3. Crimp Percentage Crimp %age = {(Warp length - Cloth length)/Cloth Length}* 100 Crimp %age = {(Warp width - Cloth width)/Cloth width}* 100 4. Cloth Cover Factor 1. 2. 3. Cloth Cover Factor = Wp.C.F +Wt.C.F. - {(Wp.C.F. - Wt.C.F)/28} 5. Maximum EPI for particular count 1. 2. 3. 4. other design = (Ends /Repeat * 1/Yarn Diametre)/ (No of intersections/repeat+ ends/repeat) 5. 6. Warp Density

= <350 Weave Density = 50+{(Warp Density - 100) * F.D - 100} /{(Weft Density 100)* F.D - 100} Effective Weave Density = W. D x K of loom width x K of Design = < 72

Wp / filling - K Loom Width - K Weave Design - K Cotton = 1.00 140 cm - 0.99 Plain1/1 = 1.00 Polyester/Cotton = 1.03 180 cm - 1.00 Twill 1/2 = 0.87 Viscose Filament = 1.17 190 cm - 1.01 Matt, Gabardine 2/2 = 0.82

Wp / filling - K Loom Width - K Weave Design - K Polyester Filament = 1.22 220 cm - 1.02 Drill 1/3 = 0.77 250 cm - 1.08 Satin 1/4 = 0.69 330 cm - 1.15 360 cm 1.20 7. To change the count and the number of thread / inch , keeping the same denseness of fabric To change the count without altering the denseness of the fabric EPI in Exp.cloth = (EPI in exp.Cloth2/EPI in given cloth) * count in given cloth To change the EPI without altering the denseness of the fabric

8. Warp requirement to weave the cloth o Warp weight in grams /metre = {(Total Ends * 1.0936 * 453.59 * crimp %)/(840 * count)} * wastage % o Weft weight in grams /metre ={(R.S. in inches * 453.59 * PPI)/(840 * count)} * wastage % * crimp % o Cloth length in metres with given weft weight=( weft weight in kgs * weft count * 1848 * 0.9144)/(PPI * R.S in inches)

For silk and Polyester

o o

Warp weight in grams /metre ={(Total Ends * count (Denier) )/9000} * wastage % * crimp % Weft weight in grams /metre = {(R.S in inches * count(Denier)* PPI)/9000}* wastage % * crimp %

Allowance for count in bleached and Dyed fabric 1.Count becomes 4% 2. FinerDyed counts become max 6% Coarser 9. Fabric Production Calculation o Loom Speed = Motor RPM * (Motor Pully Diametre)/(Loom Pully Diametre) o Loom Effeciency Percentage = (Actual Production/Calculated Production )* 100 o Moisture Regain Percentage = {(Yarn Weight - Dried Yarn Weight)/Dried Yarn weight} * 100 o Moistue Content Percentage = {(Yarn Weight - Dried Yarn Weight)/Yarn weight} * 100 Type of Yarn Moisture Regain % Moisture Content % Cotton 8.50 7.83

Type of Yarn Moisture Regain % Moisture Content % Jute 13.75 12.10 Silk 11.00 9.91 Rayon, Viscose 11.00 9.91 Wool 17.00 14.50 Nylon 4.20 3.78 10. Warp Weight in Kg = (Total Ends * Tape Length in metres)/(1693.6 * Warp Count) o Weft Weight in Kg = (R.S in centimetres * cloth length in metres * PPI )/(4301.14 * weft Count) o Cloth weight in GSM = {EPI/Warp Cout)+(PPI/Weft count)}* 25.6 o oz (ounce ) per sq. yard = GSM(Grams per sq. metre)/34 11. Material Measurement To calculate the length of any rolled fabrics, this formula gives the nearest accuracy. L = {0.0655(D-d)(D+d)}/t Where L = Length of material (Feet) t = Thickness of fabrics (inches) D = Outside diameter (inches) d = Inside diameter (inches)

12. Weight of yarn in a cloth The weight of cloth manufactured on looms depends upon the weight of yarns in thewarp and weft: ends/inch, picks/inch and the weight of size on the warp. Therefore, Cloth weight = Weight of warp + Weight of weft + Weight of size (All inlbs.) Where as Weight of warp in lbs. = (Total No. of Ends * Tape Length in Yards)/(840 * warp yarn count)
