1. In carding, a large cast iron shell, with an outer diameter of 40 to 45 inches, completely covered with card clothing on the surface. The shell is mounted rigidly on a shaft which projects at each end to rest in bearings. The cylinder must be accurately balanced since it rotates at speeds of 160 revolutions per minute and higher. 2. The main roll, or pressure bowl, on roller printing machines. The engraved rolls that apply color are arranged around the cylinder. (Also see PRINTING, Roller Printing.) 3. A slotted cylindrical housing for the needles in a circular-knitting machine. The number of slots per inch in the cylinder determines the cut of the machine.
Industry:Textiles
1. An article or substance of two or more constituents, generally, with reinforcing elements dispersed in a matrix or continuous phase. 2. Hard or soft constructions in which the fibers themselves are consolidated to form structures rather than being formed into yarns. Rigidity of these constructions is controlled by the density, the modulus of the load-bearing fibers, and the fraction of fusible fibers. Strength is controlled by adhesion and shear-yield strength of the matrix unless fibers are bonded in a load-transferring matrix. 3. A structure made by laminating a nonwoven fabric with another nonwoven, with other materials, or by impregnating a nonwoven fabric with resins.
Industry:Textiles
1. A modification of the rib-knitting stitch to allow tucking on one (half cardigan) or both(full cardigan) sets of needles. 2. A sweater that buttons down the front.
Industry:Textiles
The extent to which the acid groups of terephthalic and/or other acids have reacted with diols to form ester groups in polyester polymer production.
Industry:Textiles
The loss of desirable physical properties by a textile material as a result of some process or physical/chemical phenomenon.
Industry:Textiles
The mass per unit volume (usually expressed as grams per cubic centimeter).
Industry:Textiles
The ability of a strained material to recover its original size and shape immediately after removal of the stress that causes deformation.
Industry:Textiles
The ability of textile material to maintain or return to its original geometric configuration.
Industry:Textiles
The average voltage gradient at which electrical failure or breakdown occurs. Expressed in volts per mil.
Industry:Textiles
Refers to the number of monomer units in an average polymer. It can be controlled during processing and affects the properties of the end product.
