Record 1 2002-06-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Textile Weaving (Textile Industries)
CONT

Warp and weft yarns lie to a certain extent in a wavy form in a fabric. There is, therefore, a difference in length between straightened yarns and the yarns in the wavy form in the fabric, both in warp and weft direction. In order to be able to produce the fabric required, information is needed for predicting the length, width and mass per unit area of the fabric. This difference in length between the yarn and the fabric is usually referred to as crimp, a parameter which is significant for the structure of the fabric and also for the pore shape and size. When the fabric is loaded there is often a change in the ratio of the crimp of the warp and weft system. This change is referred to as crimp interchange. Crimp affects the mechanical properties of the fabric.

OBS

See record "crimp".

Domaine(s)
  • Industries du textile
  • Tissage (Industries du textile)
DEF

Différence entre la longueur d'un fil (de chaîne ou de trame) extrait d'un tissu et la longueur que ce même fil occupait dans le tissu; l'embuvage s'exprime en pourcentage de la longueur occupée par le fil dans le tissu.

DEF

Raccourcissement des fils de la chaîne par le tissage, occasionné par les entrecroisements de la chaîne avec la trame.

OBS

L'embuvage s'exprime, en pourcentage, par le rapport de la perte de longueur des fils de la chaîne à la longueur du tissu, et varie pour les tissus plats courants, de 5 à 15 %. Cependant, il peut atteindre des valeurs considérables dans le tissage de certains articles (velours par chaîne, peluche, tissu-éponge, etc.).

Record 8 1993-11-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Textile Industries
  • Textile Weaving (Textile Industries)
DEF

A warp yarn which exhibits less crimp in the fabric than do the adjacent normal ends, often resulting in the weft dominating the surface.

OBS

This defect is often caused by a greater tension having been imposed on an individual warp yarn during beaming, dressing or weaving.

OBS

tight end: Term and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industries du textile
  • Tissage (Industries du textile)
DEF

Fil de chaîne ayant moins d'embuvage que les fils adjacents normaux, et faisant ressortir la trame en surface.

OBS

Ce défaut est souvent causé par une tension trop grande appliquée sur un fil de chaîne individuel pendant l'ourdissage, le bobinage ou le tissage.

OBS

fil tirant : Terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO.
