Abstract

The double jersey flat knitted rib fabrics were produced and used for
the investigation. During flat knitting operation, the percentage contribution
of knit (K) and miss (M) stitches in the fabric structure has varied to study
the air and water vapour permeability properties of the fabric. The variation
in the fabric is in three levels such as 100K: 0M, 87.5K: 12.5M and 83K: 17M. One
way analysis of variance is conducted to test the significance of test results.
In order to confirm the significance of result, Tukey’s least significant test
also used for this study. Based on the tests conducted in this study, the
contribution of knit and miss stitches in the fabric influences the
permeability properties of knit fabric significantly.

Ribana Kumaşların Hava ve Su Buharı Geçirgenliklerine İlmek ve Atlama Kombinasyonların Etkisi

Abstract

Bu
çalışmada ribana yapısında örme kumaşlar kullanılarak dolu iğne ve boş iğne
kombinasyonları ile hava ve su buharı geçirgenlikleri üzerine ribana kumaş
yapısının etkileri incelenmiştir. Tek yönlü varyans analizi yapılarak Tukey
testi kullanılarak ribana yapısının oluşumunda dolu/boş iğne oranının hava ve
su buharı geçirgenliği açısından önemli olduğu belirlenmiştir.
