    CONSTANTS AND CALCULATIONS

    FIBRE FINENESS, YARN COUNTS AND CONVERSIONS:


    Micronaire value(cotton) :

    The unit is micrograms per inch. The average weight of one inch length of fibre, expressed in
    micrograms(0.000001 gram).
    Denier(man-made fibres): Weight in grams per 9000 meters of fibre.
    Micron:(wool): Fineness is expressed as fibre diameter in microns(0.001mm)
    Conversions:

    Denier = 0.354 x Micronaire value

    Micronaire value = 2.824 x Denier

    YARN COUNTS:

    1. DIRECT and 2.INDIRECT system.

    DIRECT SYSTEM:

    English count (Ne)

    French count(Nf)

    Metric count(Nm)

    Worsted count

    Metric system: Metric count(Nm) indicates the number of 1 kilometer(1000 meter) lengths /Kg.
    Nm = length in Km / weight in kg (or)
    Nm = length meter / weight in grams

    CALCULATIONS:

    grams per meter = 0.5905 / Ne

    grams per yard = 0.54 / Ne

    tex = den x .11 = 1000/Nm = Mic/25.4

    Ne = Nm/1.693

    DRAFT = (feed weight in g/m) / (delivery weight in g/m)

    DRAFT = Tex (feed) / Tex(delivery)

    DRAFT = delivery roll surface speed / feed roll surface speed

    No of hanks delivered by m/c = (Length delivered in m/min) / 1.605

    CARDING:
    (1). P =( L x 1.0936 x 60 x effy ) / (hank (Ne) x 36 x 840 x 2.2045)
    P - production in kgs / hr
    L - delivery speed in m/min
    effy- efficiency
    Ne - English count ( number of 840 yards in one pound)
    840 - constant
    2.2045- to convert from lbs to kilograms
    (2).production in kgs / hr = (L x Ktex x 60 x effy) / ( 1000)
    L - delivery speed in m/min
    Ktex- sliver count in Ktex (kilotex)
    1000- to convert to kilograms from grams
    (3). production in kgs / 8 hrs = (0.2836 x L x effy) / (Ne)
    L - delivery speed in m/min
    Ne - English count
    (4).prodn / 8 hrs = (Hank x Nd) /( Ne x 2.2045)
    Hank = no of hank (840 yards)delivered by the machine
    Nd = no of deliveries
    Ne = hank of the material
    (4).Total draft in card = (feed weight in g/m) / (sliver weight in g/m)
    DRAWFRAME:
    (1.)Break draft = surface speed of 2nd roller / surface speed of back roller
    (2).Main draft = surface speed of 1st roller / surface speed of 2nd( middle) roller

    (3).Total draft = surface speed of delivery roller / surface of feed roller


    (4).production in kgs / 8 hrs = (0.2836 x L x effy x Nd) / (Ne)
    L - delivery speed in m/min
    Nd - No of delvieries
    (5.).prodn in kgs / hr = (FRD x FRrpm x 3.14 x 60 x effy x Nd) / (Ne x 840 x 36 x 2.2045)
    FRD - front roller dia in inches
    FRrpm - front roller rpm
    SPEEDFRAME + RINGFRAME
    (1).Twist / Inch (TPI) = Spindle speed / FRS
    FRS - front roller surface speed in inches/min
    (2).FRS = FRrpm x 3.14 x FRD
    FRS - Front roller surface speed
    (3).T.P.I = T.M. x sqrt(count or hank)
    T.M. - Twist multiplier
    sqrt - square root
    (4).prodn in kgs / 8 hrs = (7.2 x SS x effy) / (TPI x Ne x 1000)
    SS - spindle speed
    (5).Spindle speed = m/min x TPI x 39.37
    (6).hank delivered = spindle speed / ( tpi x 62.89)
    (7).Ring traveller speed in m/sec =( spindle speed x ring dia in mm x 3.14) / (60 x 1000)
    WINDING:
    (1). production in kgs / 8 hrs = (0.2836 x L x effy x Nd) / (Ne)
    L - delivery speed in m/min
    (2). P =( L x 1.0936 x 60 x effy ) / (hank (Ne) x 36 x 840 x 2.2045)

    P - production in kgs / hr
    L - delivery speed in m/min
    840 - constant
