Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The standard requirements of Jute carpet with respect to different properties in relation to performance and comfort was done by Compression and thickness Recovery method, and Dynamic Loading method. It was observed the result on the basis was as follows. It was observed that resiliency of the rayon carpet is less than that of the similar jute carpet. All the parameters of resiliency follow the same order belonged to that of jute carpet. On the other hand the abrasion resistance of this Rayon carpet was much higher than that of the similar jute carpet. The thickness loss due to dynamic loading was almost similar to that of the jute carpet application of one thousand impacts on it.

Keywords: Carpet, Thickness, Jute carpet

Location: Bangladesh Jute Research Institute

Start Date:

End Date:

Program Area: Postharvest and Agro-processing

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To establish a standard for jute carpet and to improve the market potential of jute properties to enhance its various uses.

Methodology:

The sample was conditioned as in the standard atmosphere of R.H. (65±2)% and temperature of (20±2)ºC. Experimental procedure involved the study of constructional properties, physical properties and textile properties. Physical properties such as moisture content, moisture regain, weight/ sq yard, Tuft withdrawal force etc.The apparatus required to study the thickness loss compression etc. was ESSDIEL THICKNESS GUAGE. The study of Resiliency of carpet was done by dynamic loading method. This method was to observe the change of thickness to different number of hammering by prescribed set of impact assembly of the machine. Several pieces of such 5″×5″ size carpet were cut out of the original large carpet sample. Experiment was done following the B.S. standard British method BS 4098:1967.

Achievement/Findings:

The work had been done with single variety of Rayon carpet. So the result on the basis was as follows. It was observed that resiliency of the rayon carpet is less than that of the similar jute carpet. All the parameters of resiliency follow the same order belonged to that of jute carpet. On the other hand the abrasion resistance of this Rayon carpet was much higher than that of the similar jute carpet. The thickness loss due to dynamic loading was almost similar to that of the jute carpet application of one thousand impacts on it.
