EFFECT OF TUCK LOOP IN BURSTING STRENGTH OF SINGLE JERSEY KNITTED FABRICS

Rashed, Md. Mahamudul Islam

Abstract: Strength is an important term any kinds of material and especially for knitted fabric should have its own dimensional stability. We all know it is very difficult to maintain the entire quality parameters in quality test like- Bursting strength test. When we change the design of the fabric by changing cam and needle, then it becomes more difficult to maintain all those parameters. This paper focused on the bursting strength of various derivatives of single jersey knit fabric. Derivatives of single jersey knit fabrics are found by using tuck loops in corporate with knit loops in Wales and course direction. Higher presence of tuck in Wales and course direction affect the bursting strength. From the total analysis it was observed that bursting strength decreases with the increasing of tuck loops in same Wales or course than all knit loop containing fabric (plain single jersey). Bursting strength don’t depend on increase or decrease percentage of tuck loops, it depend on how many loops are in same Wales or course. Bursting strength increase and decrease also depend on how many Wales or course used in any design repeat.

Keywords: Single jersey fabric, Tuck loop, bursting strength, derivatives of single jersey fabric.
