Different Formulas of Weaving Calculation:

Reed Count

It is calculated in stock port system.No. of dents in 2 inches is called Reed Count.

EPI

Reed count = ..

1 + Weft crimp percentage

Reed Width

100 + Weft crimp percentage

Reed Width = Cloth width X .....................

100

Cloth Cover Factor

EPI

1. Warp cover factor = .

Warp Count

PPI

2. Weft cover factor = ..

Weft Count

Wp.C.F. X Wt.C.F.

3. Cloth cover factor = Wp.C. - F Wt.C.F +

28
Crimp % :

Crimp Percentage is defined as the mean difference between the straightened thread length and the
distance between the ends of the thread while in cloth, expressed as a percentage.

Warp length - Cloth length

Warp crimp% = .. X 100

Cloth length

Weft length - Cloth length

Weft crimp% = .. X 100

Cloth length

Loom:

Motor pully diameter

Loom Speed = Motor RPM X .....

Loom pully diameter

Actual Production

Loom Efficiency (%) = .. X 100

Calculated Production

Fabric Specification:

EPI X PPI

Fabric specification = . X Fabric width

Warp count X weft count

Or
 Warp count X weft count

Fabric specification = . X Fabric width

EPI X PPI

Weight of yarn in a cloth:

The weight of cloth manufactured on looms depends upon the weight of yarns in the warp and weft:
ends/inch, picks/inch and the weight of size on the warp.

Therefore, Cloth weight = Weight of warp + Weight of weft + Weight of size (All in lbs.)

Total No. of Ends X Tape Length in Yds.

Where as Weight of warp in lbs. = ..

840 X Warp Yarn Count

Length of Cloth (Yds) X Picks / inch in Cloth X Reed Width (inch)

Also Weight of weft in lbs.= .

840 X Weft Yarn Count

Weving Calculations:

Calculating linear yards of fabric produced on a weaving machine per hour of operation can be done
using the following formula:

Linear Yards/Hour = (picks per min. / picks per in.) x (60 min. per hr. / 36 in. per yd) x loom efficiency (%)

Linear Meters/Hour = (picks per min / picks per centimeter) x (60 min. per hr. / 100 cm per meter) x
loom efficiency (%)

Square Yards/Hour = Linear Yards Per Hour x Fabric Width (Yds.)

Square Meters/Hour = Linear Meters Per Hour x Fabric Width (Meters)

Rate of Filling Insertion (Yards/Min) = Loom Speed (Picks/Min) x Loom Width (Yds.) x Loom Efficiency (%)

Rate of Filling Insertion (Meters/Min) = Loom Speed (Picks/Min) x Loom Width (Meters) x Loom
Efficiency (%)

Exmple of Weving Calculations:

Example-1:

What are the linear yards of fabric produced on a machine running 650 picks per minute, inserting 58
picks per inch, and operating at a 92% efficiency?

Linear Yards/Hour = (picks per min. / picks per in.) x (60 min. per hr. / 36 in. per yd) x loom efficiency (%)

Linear Yards/Hour = (650picks per min. / 58picks per in.) x (60 min. per hr. / 36 in. per yd) x .92 loom
efficiency

Answer: 17.2

Example-2:

What is the rate of filling insertion in a loom running 720 picks per minute with a width of 2.5 meters at
93% efficiency?

Rate of Filling Insertion (Meters/Min) = Loom Speed (Picks/Min) x Loom Width (Meters) x Loom
Efficiency (%)

Rate of Filling Insertion (Meters/Min) = 720(Picks/Min) x 2.5 (Meters) x .93 Loom Efficiency

Answer: 1674 meters of filling inserted per minute
