An analogical method for evaluating ring performance based on quality and production parameters

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the best ring size for a certain yarn count. In a ring frame with three separate rings of varying sizes, 20s/1 kW yarn was created. The spinning method used the same ring speed, twist, ring traveller, and spacer but three distinct rings with diameters of 38 mm (Ring- A), 40 mm (Ring- B), and 42 mm (Ring- C). Then, under the same testing conditions, ten samples of each yarn were examined by Uster Evenness Tester (UT-6) and compared to determine the best one. The “Ring- C″ production yield was 0.22% and 1.34% greater than the “Ring- B″ and “Ring- A″ yields, respectively. Yarn breakage for “Ring- C″ was 47.78% and 200% greater than for “Ring- B″ and “Ring- A,” respectively. Yarn unevenness for “Ring- C″ was found to be 4.15% and 4.14% higher than “Ring- B″ and “Ring- A,” imperfection of yarn produced by “Ring- B″ was 18.54% and 3.47% lower than “Ring- C″ and “Ring- A,” and tenacity of yarn produced by “Ring- B″ was 3.35% and 0.64% higher than “Ring- C″ and “Ring- A.” “Ring- C″ yarn hairiness was 10.63% and 12.31% higher than “Ring- B″ and “Ring- A″ yarn hairiness, respectively. According to the study of the tested report, yarn generated from “Ring- B″ delivered optimized results in terms of both quality and output. Ring “Ring- B″ had a lower production loss than Ring “A'' but a higher loss than Ring “C.” Also, the hairiness of yarn made from “Ring- B″ was remarkably similar to yarn made from “Ring- A.''
