Weaving & Fabric Construction 13
- How Many Warp Specifications a Weaving Shed Can Afford Premium Tests every warp specification in a range against the changeovers it forces, because a specification nobody else shares has to be drawn in fresh every time rather than tied in. Reports which of them carry too few metres per set-up to justify their own warp, what merging them into a neighbouring sett would save, and the loom hours it would return. What Merging the Tail Away Saves cost/yr
- Air-Jet Loom Air Consumption Calculator Estimates compressed air demand for an air-jet loom from main and relay nozzle consumption per pick and insertion rate, converting it into cubic metres per hour, CFM, compressor energy and running cost. Air Consumption m3/h
- Dobby & Jacquard Harness Load Calculator Calculates the lifting load on a dobby shaft or jacquard harness from ends per shaft, warp tension, shed angle and heald frame mass, and compares it against the rated shaft capacity to prevent machine overload. Load per Shaft N
- Fabric Contraction & Loom-state Shrinkage Tool Separates the width lost between the reed and the loom-state cloth from the width lost in wet processing, so a finished width target can be traced back to the correct reed width. Total Width Contraction %
- Fabric GSM & Yarn Consumption Calculator Calculates the grams per square metre of a woven fabric and the warp and weft yarn required per 100 metres, from ends per inch, picks per inch, yarn counts, crimp and process wastage. Estimated Fabric GSM g/m²
- Loom Production & Efficiency Calculator Converts loom speed, picks per inch and efficiency into woven fabric output in metres and square metres per hour and per shift, and reports the effective pick insertion rate a loom actually achieves. Fabric per Shift m
- Maximum Sett Predictor (Ashenhurst's Rule) Applies Ashenhurst's rule to predict the theoretical maximum ends or picks per inch a weave can carry at a given yarn count, and shows how much of that jammed limit an actual sett is using. Maximum Sett /inch
- Pick Spacing & Beat-up Force Estimator Estimates the reed force needed to beat a pick into the cloth fell, from pick spacing, weft yarn diameter and total warp tension, and reports how close the construction runs to weft jamming. Estimated Beat-up Force N
- Reed Count & Reed Width Calculator Converts a target cloth width, end count and weft crimp into the reed width and reed count required in the loom, along with total dents and the ends per inch in reed against the finished cloth. Reed Count dents/inch
- Shirley Fabric Cover Factor Calculator Applies Peirce's cover factor equations to give warp, weft and total cover for a woven construction, plus the percentage of the fabric plane covered by yarn and the open area left for air and light. Total Cover Factor K
- Warp & Weft Crimp Percentage Calculator Calculates warp and weft crimp and take-up percentages from straightened yarn lengths measured against the fabric sample, the figures that drive yarn consumption, fabric weight and loom take-up settings. Warp Crimp %
- Weave Repeat, Shafts & Ashenhurst Maximum Sett Derives repeat size, shafts for a straight draft, float lengths and intersections from a weave notation, then applies the Ashenhurst rule to give the yarn diameter, the maximum sett the structure supports and how much of it the actual sett uses. Maximum Sett epi
- Woven Fabric Reverse Engineering from GSM and Sett Solves the areal weight mass balance for the warp and weft counts implied by a measured GSM, sett and crimp, then reports the weight each direction contributes, the tex equivalents and the resulting cover factors. Derived Warp Count Ne
