Effects of Fabric Parameters on Bursting Strength of Home Textiles

Abstract

Performances of any textile structure mostly depend on its behaviour against subjected forces in different directions. Strength tests are the most employed method in order to evaluate the performances of textile materials during usage and processing. Cloth production parameters are the most important factors that affect the fabric usage and operating performances. In this research, effects of different production parameters on bursting strength of some woven fabrics used as upholstery, drapery, and sheeting known as home textiles are investigated. It is found that fabric bursting strength is affected by fineness and density values of warp and weft yarns.

Keywords

• Upholster, Drapery, Sheeting, Bursting strength, Ball bursting.

Ev Tekstillerinde Kumaş Özelliklerinin Patlama Mukavemetine Etkileri

Öz

Herhangi bir tekstil yapısının performansı büyük ölçüde onun maruz kaldığı çeşitli kuvvetlere karşı gösterdiği davranışa bağlıdır. Tekstil materyallerinin işlenmeleri ve kullanılmaları sırasında göstermiş oldukları performanslarını değerlendirmek için en çok başvurulan testler mukavemet testleridir. Kumaş üretim parametreleri kumaşın işlenme ve kullanım performansını etkileyen en önemli faktörlerdir. Bu çalışmada ev tekstili olarak bilinen döşemelik, perdelik ve nevresimlik dokuma kumaşların bazılarının farklı üretim parametrelerinin kumaş patlama mukavemetine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Atkı ve çözgü ipliklerinin sıklık ve kalınlık değerlerinin kumaş patlama mukavemetini etkilediği bulunmuştur.

Anahtar Kelimeler

• Döşemelik kumaş, Perdelik kumaş, Çarşaflık kumaş, Patlama mukavemeti, Bilyeli patlama.
