Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The thickness loss of two varieties of carpet made of Tossa Natural jute carpet and white natural jute carpet was observed that tossa jute carpet is more resistant to thickness loss than white carpet. Tossa Natural jute carpet and white natural jute carpet had suffered 40% and 44% of thickness losses respectively.

Keywords: Carpet, Thickness, Jute carpet

Location: Bangladesh Jute Research Institute

Start Date: 01-01-1990

End Date: 31-12-1995

Program Area: Postharvest and Agro-processing

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To study the performance characteristics of jute carpet to establish their standards.

Methodology:

Thickness loss study by Dynamic Loading Methods: The study of the thickness loss of two varieties of carpet made of Tossa Natural jute fibre pile yarn and white natural jute fibre pile yarns was done. Thickness loss was determined by a method developed by WIRA with the help of Dynamic Loading Machine. The surface of the carpet under investigation was subjected to some particular number of hammerings or beating by a mechanical device of the said loading machine. From the mean thickness the corresponding percentage of thickness loss was also calculated.

Achievement/Findings:

A comparative study of thickness loss of Tossa Natural white carpet and natural tossa jute carpet was done this year. The other parameters - resilience, abrasion, tuft withdrawal force, durability etc. were studied last year. It was observed that the maximum of the thickness loss occurred after first 50 beating. Maximum of 23% and 28% are the thickness losses due to 50 impacts while 30 % and 34% are due to 100 impacts in case of tossa jute carpet and white jute carpet respectively. It was seen the percentage thickness loss is more regular throughout the sequence in case of tossa natural Fibre Carpet while it is very much irregular throughout the sequence in case of white natural jute carpet. From the statistical analysis of the data it may be concluded that tossa jute carpet is more resistant to thickness loss than white carpet.
