Question 70 (Textile Engineering & Fibre Science)
A loom is designed to run at 500 picks per minute. If the fabric width is 2.5m and weft crimp on the loom is 8%, the weft insertion rate in m/min on the loom will be
| (A) | 1000 |
| (B) | 1250 |
| (C) | 1350 |
| (D) | 1450 |
[Show Answer]
Option C is correct.
Loom picks per min=500
Fabric width=2.5m
Weft crimp%=8%
Weft insertion rate(m/min)=?
Formula-
Weft insertion rate=Loom picks per min x fabric width x (1+weft crimp%)
Weft insertion rate=500 x 2.5 x (1+8%)
Weft insertion rate=500 x 2.5 x 1.08
Weft insertion rate=1350 m/min
