Hairiness of viscose OE rotor-spun yarns in relation to test speed and process parameters

Abstract

The relationship between the hairiness measured by Uster-3 tester and Zweigles hairiness meter (G565) and some process parameters has been studied. In rotor spinning, higher values of twist factor and rotor speed offer considerable

advantage in respect of yarn hairiness. Test speed produces large changes in the hairiness, the magnitude being dependent mainly on the processing factors. Hairiness is linearly related with yarn linear density. No direct distinct statistical
