False Twist Texturizing Surge Speed Calculator

The disc surface speed and the D/Y ratio fix the ceiling. Running near it is what turns a texturizing machine into a broken-filament generator.

Solid-cylinder diameter ignores filament packing, so the twist figure is a geometric reference for comparing settings rather than an absolute measurement. Decision-support only: confirm against the machine builder's disc rating.
