  2. Units of textile measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_textile_measurement

    Textile fibers, threads, yarns and fabrics are measured in a multiplicity of units.. A fiber, a single filament of natural material, such as cotton, linen or wool, or artificial material such as nylon, polyester, metal or mineral fiber, or human-made cellulosic fibre like viscose, Modal, Lyocell or other rayon fiber is measured in terms of linear mass density, the weight of a given length of ...

  3. Thread (yarn) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(yarn)

    Thread is made from a wide variety of materials. Where a thread is stronger than the material that it is being used to join, if seams are placed under strain the material may tear before the thread breaks. Garments are usually sewn with threads of lesser strength than the fabric so that if stressed the seam will break before the garment.

  4. Twist per inch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twist_per_inch

    This Twist Multiplier is an empirical parameter that has been established by experiments and practice that the maximum strength of a yarn is obtained for a definite value of K. In the case of ring spun cotton yarns, for example, the following values of K have been found to give the best results.

  5. Warp and weft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_and_weft

    Wrapping the warp threads around the warp beam of a loom in preparation for weaving. Warp threads in tablet weaving. The warp is the set of yarns or other things stretched in place on a loom before the weft is introduced during the weaving process. It is regarded as the longitudinal set in a finished fabric with two or more sets of elements. [6]

  6. Tog (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tog_(unit)

    The basic unit of insulation coefficient is the R SI, (1 m 2 ⋅K/W). 1 tog = 0.1 R SI.There is also a US clothing unit, the clo, equivalent to 0.155 R SI or 1.55 tog, described in ASTM D-1518.

  7. Hook-and-loop fastener - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook-and-loop_fastener

    The strength of the bond depends on how well the hooks are embedded in the loops, how much surface area is in contact with the hooks, and the nature of the force pulling it apart. If hook-and-loop is used to bond two rigid surfaces, such as auto body panels and frame, the bond is particularly strong because any force pulling the pieces apart is ...

  8. Square thread form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_thread_form

    The greatest advantage of square threads is that they have a much higher intrinsic efficiency than trapezoidal threads (Acme or metric trapezoidal). Due to the lack of a thread angle there is no radial pressure, or bursting pressure, on the nut. This also increases the nut life. [1] The greatest disadvantage is the difficulty in machining such ...

  9. List of thread standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_thread_standards

    A screw thread, often shortened to thread, is a helical structure used to convert between rotational and linear movement or force. A screw thread is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder or cone in the form of a helix, with the former being called a straight thread and the latter called a tapered thread.
