The Tensile Strength Test of cotton yarns

The tensile strength values of the dry and wet cotton yarns varies very much from each other. The strength of wet cotton yarns is greater than that of dry cotton yarns. This is due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between the water molecules and the hydroxyl groups in the cellulosic rings of the cotton fibers in the wet state.

Objectives:
To calculate the tensile strength of cotton yarns in both dry and wet state.
 To calculate Count Lea Strength Product of dry cotton yarns.
  To compare the tensile strength of dry and wet cotton yarns.

 Materials:
 Dry cotton yarn.
 Water
 Beaker
 Wrapping Reel
 Tensile Strength Testing Machine
 Weighing Balance

 Procedure:
Dry cotton yarn was taken.
8 leas of 120 yards of that yarn were made using the wrapping reel.
4 of them were soaked in the water placed in the beaker.
Weight of each of the dry samples were taken on the weighing balance.
These were now placed on the tensile strength testing machine.
 Tensile strength of both dry and wet yarns were calculated.

 Calculations:
Length of lea taken = 120 yards
120 yards = 10920 cm
English count = 0.0059 x  (length of cm / weight in grams )
CLSP= Count Lea Strength Product = Count x Tensile Strength

Classfication Of The Textile Testing

Textile testing is the term for a whole series of tests that examine the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of textiles. These tests are sometimes done before a textile goes into widespread use, or they're done on textiles arriving from other countries for sale in US markets. Countries like the United States have established standards for what should and should not be in textile products. Tests can show whether companies making textiles are in compliance or not. Many textile tests have many types. Some of them are physical tests, in which a sample of textile material is examined closely for feel and appearance. Such tests are done on individual fibers or strands of material and on yarns, threads made of several fibers twisted together. Textiles are subjected to light and other elements to see how they react. Some of these tests are done in a weather-ometer, a machine that tests for weathering and lightfastness of textiles. It's basically an enclosed box. Textiles...

How To Process The Elmendorf Tear Strength Test

The Elmendorf tear tester has been developed specially for the paper industry and is outstanding for simplicity of operation and high measurement accuracy. The exchangeable pendulum is equipped with a pneumatic sample clamp. The initiation and return of the pendulum, as well as sample cutting is completely automatic. The device is operated via an integrated touch screen, where the test method can be selected, specific settings can be adjusted, and, after the measurement, results and statistics can be  displayed.Each pendulum is supplied with the appropriate control weight so that, with the help of the service program, it can easily be checked for functionality and balance. The Elmendorf tear test Procedure:     Cotton fabric was taken.     Warp and weft direction of the fabric was identified.     Two strips were cut from the fabric in both directions having dimensions of 100 x 63.5 mm.     The sample was then fixed in the jaws of the ...

Standard Procedure Of Oxygen Index Test Methods

Oxygen index tester test methods, which describes the tendency of a material to sustain a flame, are widely used as a tool to investigate the flammability of polymers. They provide a convenient, reproducible, means of determining a numerical measure of flammability. A further attraction is that the test method uses inexpensive equipment and only requires a small sample size. These methods have been used to systematical investigate the relative flammabilities of fire-retarded materials, frequently comparing the effectiveness of fire-retardants and fire-retardancy mechanisms. The quintessential feature of oxygen-index methods is that the sample is burnt within a controlled atmosphere. The standard procedure is to ignite the top of the sample, using a gas flame which is withdrawn once ignition has occurred, and to find the lowest oxygen concentration in an upward flowing mixture of nitrogen and oxygen which just supports sustained burning. The criticality criterion typically tak...
