YARN ABRASION [6 records]

Record 1 2019-06-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Textiles: Preparation and Processing
  • Thread Spinning (Textiles)
  • Synthetic Fabrics
DEF

The process of crimping, imparting random loops or otherwise modifying continuous filament yarn to increase cover, resilience, abrasion resistance, warmth, insulation and moisture absorption or to provide different surface texture that can reduce yarn lustre.

Key term(s)
  • texturizing

Domaine(s)
  • Apprêt et traitements divers (Textiles)
  • Filature (Textiles)
  • Textiles artificiels et synthétiques
DEF

Procédé consistant à friser les fils de filaments continus, à leur conférer des bouclettes au hasard ou à les modifier de façon similaire.

CONT

La texturation confère aux fils continus synthétiques thermoplastiques des propriétés de gonflant et d'élasticité.

Record 2 2015-12-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Thread Spinning (Textiles)
DEF

The unwanted movement of yarns in a woven fabric due to the warp and weft yarns slipping over each other.

OBS

Yarn slippage may occur during garment manufacture, or in garment components during wear, as a result of excessive stress or abrasion. Yarns in a fabric have a greater or lesser tendency to slip depending on factors such as yarn type, weave, ends ands and picks per unit length, fabric weight, and the type of finishing process.

OBS

There are two major types of seam slippage: 1) When stress is applied to a seam, the yarns in the fabric slip out of the stitching causing an open seam; and 2) When stress is applied to a seam, the yarns in the fabric shift of slide in the weave construction causing seam grinning and fabric distortion. We will refer to the first type as "seam slippage" and the second as "yarn slippage".

Taber Instruments. The need to test and measure material resistance to abrasion, stiffness and resiliency, and susceptibility to shear and scratch is a critical step in the production of flooring, textiles, carpeting, leather and vinyl goods ... For the makers of these products ... Taber Abrasers, Stiffness Testers, and Shear/Scratch Testers provide data in a matter of minutes ... Taber instruments deliver quick, exact measurements for materials research ... The Taber Abraser is available in two models ... .

CONT

The density of the coating is the size and number of the cells and pores within a given area. This can often be indirectly measured by using coating weights and the number of cycles on a Taber Abrasion tester, prior to breakthrough.

CONT

... The resistance to abrasion,which measures wear due to contact with an abrasive substance,is determined using the Taber abrasion tester.

CONT

The Physical Testing Laboratory offers services that encompass a wide variety of standard fiber, yarn and fabric tests... Physical Testing Laboratory Equipment... Taber abrasion tester...

CONT

Split yarn : A yarn which appears in the fabric as a thin yarn. This defect is often caused by abrasion or excessive tension during winding or weaving which breaks a part of the yarn(e. g. a filament of a continuous-filament yarn or a ply of a two-fold yarn) that is subsequently held back during weaving.

Fil éraillé : Fil apparaissant plus fin dans le tissu. Ce défaut est souvent causé par l'abrasion ou l'excès de tension pendant le bobinage ou le tissage entraînant la rupture d'une partie du fil (par exemple un filament d'un fil continu ou un fil simple d'un fil retors) retenue ensuite pendant le tissage.
