Abstract
We studied the significance of three processing parameters of supplied air pressure, yarn speed and overfeed ratio to the number and static strength of tangles of interlaced yarn and the correlation between the number of tangles and static strength of tangles by statistical method. Interlaced yarn was characterized by the number and static strength of tangles. Interlaced yarn was produced by the interlacer with a yarn duct of elliptical cross-section. Factorial analysis and correlation analysis methods were used. After analysis and discussion, overfeed ratio is the most significant processing parameter to the number of tangles. Yarn speed is the most significant processing parameter to the static strength of tangles.
