About the Influence of the Weft Tension on the Production Conditions and Properties of the Woven-Knitted Material

Abstract

The process of woven-knitted textile material production is a subject of the investigation. The results of the experimental investigations conducted in the production conditions in the Mogotex OJSC (Mogilev) during the production of the woven-knitted material of the article 10s2 are presented in the paper. The material samples with different tension of the weft yarns were obtained on the machine Metap 160. The physical-mechanical properties and other characteristics were defined in the standard procedure, the consumption of the weft yarns in the weaving was defined. The dependence of these parameters from the tension of weft yarns was defined. It is shown that there is a possibility to vary the weft yarns tension in certain limits to reduce their consumption during the process of weaving.
