Two parameters, twist efficiency and yarn delivery speed ratio, were adopted to clear the properties of the twisting and the yam delivery of a blet nip twister to get a satisfactory twisting condition.
Although these parameters varied with twister condition (
B/Y ratio and the intersecting angle between the belts), the relationship between the detwisting tension/twisting tension ratio and the yarn delivery speed ratio is approximately on a master curve. So, when the yarn delivery speed ratio is equal to one, the
B/Y ratio is given by: 1/(1+ε)•1/cos(θ/2) where ε: elongation ratio of untwisting, θ: intersecting angle between the belts.
