Abstract:
The final usage of knitted fabric is significantly influenced by its physical characteristics, such as bursting strength, gram per square meter (GSM), stitch density, etc. The goal of this study is to examine the physical characteristics of various knit fabrics made from various types of fiber and Material. It has been demonstrated that different knit structures and fiber types, such as cotton, polyester, mélange, spandex, and CVC, have an impact on the fabric's physical characteristics, including bursting strength, pilling, GSM, and stitch density. Every experiment for this study is run on a grey fabric. The findings showed that physical properties of knitted fabric varies due to variation of knitted structure. All fabrics other than Pointel Rib and 3-Thread Fleece have good abrasion resistance. Pointel Rib was made of melange yarn, while 3-Thread Fleece contained a significant percentage of hairy fiber. Except Single Jersey fabric, which has a lot of hairy fiber, all other textiles are reasonably abrasion resistant. As Rib fabrics have the greatest and lowest values in Ball Bursting, Rib fabrics are given top importance. Whereas Flat Back Rib has the lowest Bursting Strength, 1×1 Rib has the highest. Conversely, Flat Back Rib has the lowest extensibility whereas 9×4 Rib has the highest.
