Abstract

The aim of this research was to analyse the influence of slub yarn structure on air permeability of woven fabrics. Slub length, slub distance, amplitude of slub and yarn linear density were used as control factors to produce slub yarns with varying properties according to Taguchi L9 orthogonal design. Twill 1/3 woven fabrics were produced with these slub yarns and air permeability results were statistically analysed. Optimum yarn parameters were determined for air permeability which was considered as nominal-the-better property according to the end-use purposes of the fabric. The analysis results showed that slub thickness had the most significant effect on air permeability.

ŞANTUK İPLİKTEN ÜRETİLMİŞ DOKUMA KUMAŞLARIN HAVA GEÇİRGENLİĞİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmadaki amaç, şantuk iplik yapısının dokuma kumaşın hava geçirgenliği özelliği üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Bu amaçla, şantuk uzunluğu, şantuk mesafesi, şantuk kalınlığı ve iplik numarası kontrol faktörleri olarak belirlenmiş ve Taguchi L9 ortogonal dizaynına göre farklı özelliklerde şantuk iplikler üretilmiştir. Bu ipliklerden 1/3 dimi kumaşlar dokunarak hava geçirgenliği özellikleri istatistiksel olarak analiz edilmiştir. Kumaşın son kullanım amacına göre “hedef değer en iyi” olarak değerlendirilen hava geçirgenliği için optimum iplik parametreleri tespit edilmiştir. Analizler, şantuk kalınlığının hava geçirgenliği üzerinde en etki faktör olduğunu göstermiştir.
