Horizontal spindle machines may be rectangular in design, similar to hank dyeing machines, but modified to take frames, onto which yarn packages are inserted horizontally, or alternatively may be a horizontal autoclave into which is wheeled the carrier containing the yarn packages. Both types operate with high flow rate pumps, which are necessary to give good circulation of the dye liquor. These machines are usually used for bulky yarns, which are wound onto soft packages, again to increase dye liquor penetration. 1, record 2, English, - horizontal%20spindle%20machine

Machines de teinture horizontales à clarinette appelées «armoires», similaires aux machines de teinture pour écheveaux, mais conçues différemment pour recevoir des supports sur lesquels les bobines de fil sont emboîtées horizontalement. Il peut également s'agir d'un autoclave horizontal, dans lequel on introduit un porte-matières supportant les bobines de fil. Dans les deux cas, les machines sont équipées de pompes à haut débit, nécessaires pour assurer une bonne circulation du bain de teinture. Ces machines sont habituellement utilisées pour teindre des fils gonflants, enroulés sur bobines molles, afin d’obtenir un meilleur taux de pénétration du bain de teinture. 1, record 2, French, - machine%20de%20teinture%20horizontale%20%C3%A0%20clarinette

Penetration test: The package is positioned on a flat essentially unyielding horizontal surface. A steel bar of 32 mm diameter with a hemispherical end and weighting 6 kg is dropped from a height of 1 m onto the exposed surface of the package that is the most vulnerable to puncture. Prior to dropping, the longitudinal axis of the bar is perpendicular to the surface of the package. The steel bar is not significantly deformed by the test performance. 1, record 4, English, - modified%20penetration%20test
