The following chart is very important for most of the textile students. It contains basic unit conversions that are most commons.


Length:

1 spyndle

= 14,400 yd

1 hank

= 840 yards

= 7 leas

1 meter

= 1.09361 yd

1 Ligne

= 0.635 mm

1 yd

= 36 "

Weight:

1 lb

= 7,000 grain

1 kg

= 2.2046 lb

1 oz

= .02834 kg

Area:

1 oz/ yd^2

= 33.096 gm/ m^2

Formula


Apparel:


Metric Ticker No. = Resultant Count X 3


Calculations & Formula:

Basic Time = Observed Time X Rating

SMV = Basic Time + Basic Time X Allowances = 3.04+ 3.04 X 15% = 3.5 min



TOG

= CLO X 1.55

E





Textile Testing:


Moisture Regain (R)

= (W / D) X 100

Moisture Content (C)

= (W / W+D) X 100

Moisture Regain (R)

= 100 C / (100 - C)

Drape co-efficient (F)

= (Actual projected area of specimen - Disk Area) / (Specimen area - Disk area)

Wear Index

= (Wt. loss in mg X No. of Cycle Tested) / 1000

Yarn:
