A NEW ELECTRO-MECHANICAL METHOD FOR MEASURING YARN THICKNESS
M.R. Mahmoudi, W. Oxenham- General Materials Science
Abstract
Measuring the thickness of a wire using a micrometer is simple, but textile workers cannot use the same technique. The current report describes a possible method of measuring yarn thickness under lateral force using a range of loads. The effect of twist on thickness and compressibility of yarns is studied.
