Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted during the year 1993 at Bangladesh Jute Research Institute, Spinning Department.The raw materials used for the project work was BWC quality jute fiber. Physical properties of the selected fibers were measured. 204 tex and 238 tex yarns were produced from spingard spinning frame. Three different twist levels i.e. 5.00, 5.25 and 5.50 TPI were used for 204 tex yarn and 4.00, 4.25 and 4.50 TPI were used for 238 tex yarn. Twist levels of 5.00 and 4.25 TPI have improved quality ratio of 204 tex and 238 tex yarn respectively.

Location: Chemistry Division.

Start Date: 01-01-1993

End Date: 31-12-1993

Program Area: Postharvest and Agro-processing

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To fix up suitable balanced twists for unconventional lower counts of jute yarns.

Methodology:

150 kg of BWC quality jute fiber was selected for the present work. The fiber was softened with an application of 25% normal emulsion. The softened fiber was piled for 48 hours to mature. Then the fiber was processed through all the processing stages and finally 6lbs and 7 lbs/spy .yarns where spun on the spingard spinning irame. Three different levels of twist were inserted in each quality of yarn .The levels used were 5.00, 5.25& 5.50 TPI for 6 lbs/spy . 4.00,4.25 and 4.50 TPI. for 7 lbs/spy respectively. The spun yarns were tested in a standard test atmosphere.

Achievement/Findings:

A comparative study among the yarns of 6 lba/spy having different twist level of 5.TPI has improved quality ratio than the other two levels used. The function of twist insertion into yarn is to provide strength in it for its subsequent uses. In case of 7 lbs/spy yarns, quality ratio has significantly improved at twist level of 4.25 TPI than the other two levels of twist. Regularity of yarn has also improved at this level of the same yarn type.
