Pull-out behaviour of yarn from plain woven jute fabric

Abstract

Effects of calendering and bending length on pull-out behaviour of yarns from five different sets of commonly used jute hessian fabrics have been studied. Force required to pull out yarn

from the fabric is measured in tensile testing machine. The pull out characteristics of the yarn adjacent to the yarn which has previously been pulled out is also studied. Lesser pull-out force is observed in case of calendered samples, and the load to pull out the adjoining yarn, which is beside the yarn that has already been pulled out, is found to be comparatively much less.
