Project report on comparision on Tube Finished and Open Finished Knitted Fabric Parameter

Abstract

This thesis presents an analysis and comparative study between open finish and tube finishon the properties of knitted fabrics . For this project work two types of yarn count (28 s/l Comb yarn for single jersey with m/c 36x24 and 38x24 and 40 s/l comb yarn for double jersey with m/c 36x18) were used. In this project the sample were produced from same lot 337. Two types of fabric which were knitted (single jersey and rib) from combed yarn. Then the various quality parameters such as CPI, WPI, stitch density, GSM, shrinkage, width, and Spirality were tested after finish the sample in open and tube format finishing. After testing, the overall results showed that the knitted fabrics finished from open form given lower less thick thin, less width variation or exact width, lower spirality, lower shrinkage , higher bursting strength , desired GSM , higher CPI, higher WPI, consistency compare with knitted fabric finished from tube format and these are the key achievement of this project work. Finally, after completing the project it can be said that the result of S/J-140 GSM, S/J-150GSM, Rib (1x1)-160 GSM samples are showing overall good properties like shrinkage, GSM, spirality, exact width when the sample finished in the open format and the result always reach towards standard format.
