Technical Textile |
These textile materials are meant for serving same technical or utility functions and not for normal textile uses like
apparel, home furnishing etc. |
Tex |
This is the universal unit for yarn count; it is the weight in grams per kilometer of yarn. |
Tenacity |
It is the expression of strength of fibre or yarn in terms of the ratio of breaking load and linear density; and of febric
in terms of the ratio of breaking load and febric width. |
Tensile Modules |
It is the ratio of maximum stress within elastic limit in case of a tensile deformation. |
Tensile Strength |
The maximum stress developed in a tensile test and hence. It is the resistance of a material while pulled apart
longitudinally. |
Thermoplastic Composite |
It is the moulding incorporating synthetic polymer fibres or resins as binders/matrices, which can be modified by the
application of heat. The most common polumers used are polypropylene, followed by polyamide and polyester. |
Thermoset Composite |
It is the natural fibre reinforcement impregnated by cross-linking resin to produce semi-permanent mouldings i.e. an
irreversible process. The principal resins used are non-saturated polyester, followed by epoxy, vinyl and phenolic. |
Transmittivity |
The product of water permeability along the geotextile plane and thickness of the geotextile. |
Twill Weave |
A weave that produces diagonal lines on the surface of the cloth. |
Twine |
A plied yarn formed by twisting together two or more strands of yarn. |
Warp or End |
Set of yarns running length-wise of a fabric is called warps or ends. |
Warping |
The process of preparing of warps for weaving or knitting . A number of methods are employed such as beam warping, chain
warping and sectional warping. |
Weave |
The type of interlacement of warp and weft to form a fabric. |
Weft or Pick |
Set or yarns running width-wise of a fabric are called wefts or picks. |
Work of Rupture |
It is the energy required to bring jute fibre or yarn to rupture under tensile deformation. |
Yarn Package |
A length of yarn in a form suitable for handling, sorting or shipping . Packages may be unsupported as skeins or cakes, or
prepared with various winding patterns of bobbins, cops, pirrs, spools, tubes or beams. |
