Introduction:
To calculate the count in textile need to know about count used in textile industry.
Definition
of
count:
Count is numerical expressions which express or indicate the coarseness or fineness of yarn used
in
textile.
According to Textile Institute, Count is a number indicating the mass per unit length or the
length per unit mass of yarn.
So it has seen that Count has the two systems to indicate coarseness/fineness:1. Indirect system
2. Direct system
Direct
System:
In direct system the count is used for the measurement of weight per unit length of yarn where
length
is
considered
as
constant.
Here
whenever
count
increases,
fineness
decreases.
(count
In direct system of count commonly used some units of measurement are:1. Tex (1 Tex = 1g/ 1000m)
fineness)
Indirect
System:
In indirect system of measuring count t is used for the measurement of length per unit weight of
yarn
where
weight
is
considered
to
be
constant.
When
count
increases,
fineness
increases.
(count
fineness)
In indirect system of count there are commonly used some subsystems of indirect system are:1. English System (1 Ne = 1 Hank/ lb)
2. Metric System (1 Nm = 1 Km/ kg)
For
cotton
yarn,
length
of
Hank
840
yards.
Whenever the type of count is not mentioned with the count, it is understood that is the English
count cause this count is widely used and known as English cotton count.
Now lets see the count conversion table which helps to calculate the count from any system of
count.
Conversion
example:
Example 1: If the metric count is given 50 then what will be the English cotton count?
Solution:
We
Where,
know
English
that,
cotton
Ne=0.5905
count
is
X
expressed
Nm
as
Ne
And
So
Ans.
Metric
English
count
count
will
as
Ne=0.5905
Ne
be
30
Nm
X
50=30
Example 2: If the English cotton count is 30 then what will be the Tex count?
Solution:
Rom
the
count
Tex
count
Where,
Ne=30,
so
Ans.19.6
conversion
Tex
table
=
count
Tex
we
will
know
that,
590.5/Ne
be=590.5/30=19.6
From the count conversion tool we can convert each of the count either direct or indirect from
one to another count.
