Abstract/ Executive Summary:

In order to study the construction and weight in relation to yarn characteristics two samples of fabrics viz, Novocel made of all jute modified with some chemical treatments and Novotex-union fabrics of modified jute and cotton yarns produced in BJRI were selected to study thoroughly. Ends and picks per inches, count of warp and weft threads, yarns crimps (%), weight and thickness of the cloth yarn, cloth strength, stiffness and crease recovery of both fabrics were determined and compared to each other. Both the fabrics were of twill weave structures and the counts of jute yarns used in both Novocel and Novotex fabrics were less than 4 lb/spindle. Novocel fabric was found to possess higher cloth strength but lower cloth cover factor than those of Novotex fabrics.

Keywords: Performance, Characteristics, Cloth strength, Weight, Thickness.

Location: Physics Department, Physics and Testing Division, BJRI, Technology Wing, Manik Mia Avenue, Dhacca-1207.

Start Date: 01-01-1982

End Date: 31-12-1982

Program Area: Postharvest and Agro-processing

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

1. To study the construction and weight in relation to yarn characteristics of knitted, jute union and blended fabrics.

2. To measure the physical characteristics of jute fabrics having different warp and weft constituent and to relate these to the characteristics of the yarn

3. To measure the different physic o-mechanical properties of knitted, jute union and blended fabrics

Methodology:

To ascertain the performance characteristics of different jute fabrics from Adamjee Jute Mills and Novocell fabrics of different counts were taken for analysis of their physical and mechanical characteristics. The different physical and mechanical properties (yarn extension breaking of fabrics, warp and weft wise yarn crimp, weight of the fabrics, cloth cover factor, warp and weft wise cloth assistance factor, crease recover, bursting strength) were measured in the Physics and Testing department of the BJRI during 1982 at standard room temperature and humidity conditions using standard method and machine respectively.
