| Abstract: | In twisting a yarn running over a guide surface, the twist inserted into the part in front of the guide is impeded to transmit freely to the part behind the contact zone. A new device has been set up for investigating twist blockage and yarn torque - twist simultaneously. Measurements of twist blockage in relationship to different parameters have been carried out by using a monofilament yarn and a multifilament yarn. The factors under consideration include the wrap angle, yarn tension and input twist. |
