Celanese Corporation is a Fortune 500 global technology and specialty materials company with its headquarters in Dallas, Texas, United States.
An accumulation of negative or positive electricity on the surface of fibers or fabrics because of inadequate electrical dissipation during processing. Static results in an electricalattraction or repulsion of the fibers relative to themselves, to machine parts, or to other materials,preventing the fiber from traveling in a normal path in the process.
Industry:Textiles
In tire cord, the measurement of the strength of a cord-to-rubber bondunder static conditions or very low strain rate.
Industry:Textiles
A steam-heated cabinet used in manufactured fiber production. Usually refersto the heated cabinet in which spin-drawing is done or to the cabinet around a stuffer-boxcrimper.
Industry:Textiles
1. A distortion in the weave characterized by tight and slack places in the same warpyarns. The principal causes are rolled ends on the beam, warp ends restricted by broken filamentslubs, and knots catching at lease rods, drop wires, heddles, or reeds.
Industry:Textiles
The property of a fiber or fabric to resist bending or to carry a load withoutdeformation. It is based on the fiber modulus.
Industry:Textiles
Textile fibers made of stainless steel. Steel fibers are used for antistatic purposes in carpets, for tire belt construction, and for high-temperature or heat-resistant end uses.
Industry:Textiles
The process of passing a fiber or thread through the thickness of fabric layers to secure them. In composite manufacture, stitching is used to make preforms or to improve damage tolerance of complex-shaped parts.
Industry:Textiles
A measure of the dispersion of a set of numbers based on the difference of the individual numbers from the mean.
Industry:Textiles
Accepted moisture allowance for textile materials expressed in percentages of their dry weight.
Industry:Textiles
Standard condition is that reached by a specimen when it is in moisture equilibrium with a standard atmosphere. Standard condition is seldom realized in practice since laboratory atmospheres are continually fluctuating between narrow limits, and it is not practical to wait for the attainment of moisture equilibrium which would require several days or more for tightly wound samples of high regain material. Practically, specimens are brought to moisture equilibrium in the standard atmosphere for testing as defined in these definitions. The term “standard condition” should not be used as a synonym for the concept of “standard atmosphere.”
