No of Experiment : 07
Name of Experiment : Study on Determination of TPI by Twist Tester.

Introduction : Yarn is a continuous strand composed of fibers, filaments, or other


materials that are twisted or laid together to form a long, flexible strand. Yarns are
fundamental components in the production of textiles, as they are used in processes
such as weaving, knitting, and sewing to create fabrics. Twist is the spiral disposition
of the component of a yarn, which is result of relative rotation of the extenemities of
the yarn. Twist mainly two types. They are- Z- twist & S- twist. Twist effect in textiles
increases yarn strength, enhances elasticity, and improves fabric stability. Twist
defects in textiles can result in uneven yarn tension and appearance inconsistencies,
affecting fabric quality. Twist per inch (TPI) is the number to term per unit length of
yarn. TPI is necessary in textiles to ensure proper strength, durability, and appearance
of yarn and fabric. Twist remainig materials are yarn,thread and roving. Yarn Twist
Tester, is designed to determine yarn twists in single or plied yarns, quadrant type
with auto stop & reverse for conventional or untwist/re-twist methods. The Twist
Tester is used to get the coefficient of twist, which is a measurement of the level of
twist of the yarn and is suitable for testing single or plied yarns.

Objectives : 1. To know about twist.


2. To know about the classification of twist.
3. To know about TPI.
4. To know about Twist Tester.
5. To determine TPI by Twist Tester.

Ambient Condition: Room temperature 24°C,


Relative Humidity(RH%) 57%.

Materials and Equipment :


• Yarn • Calculator
• Scissors • Needle
• Twist Tester • Scale
Twist Tester

Working Procedure :
i. At first, note the room temperature and relative humidity with the help of
a hygrometer.
ii. Cut a sample of the yarn to the length of 10 inch.
iii. The yarn passes from the sample package, through a guide, through the
non-rotating jaw, through the rotating jaw, and is wound on to a clockwork-
driven drum.
iv. Assuming that a 10 inch length of yarn is gripped between the jaws, the
twist is taken out and the number of turns noted.
v. The handle is then turned until the counter reading is again zero; i.e. all the
twist has been put back.
vi. The spring-loaded jaws of the rotating clamp are opened and the clamp
moved 1 inch. forward, to touch the fixed clamp.
vii. The latter is then opened and, under the tension of a light spring, the rotating
clamp is pulled back to its working position and in so doing pulls a new 1
inch sample into the test zone.
viii. Repeat this procedure three times.
ix. Record the values and calculate the average TPI.
Data :

Sl Yarn length in inch No of Twist TPI =Y/X AVG TPI


No. (X) (Y)

1 10 44 4.4

2 10 44 4.4 4.4

3 10 44 4.4

Result : The Avg TPI is 4.4.


Remarks :
1. Try to maintain a stable environment during the measurement period.
2. Length from the base should be adjusted exactly.
3. The free end of yarn from a package may loss twist by untwisting itself, to
avoid error the first measurement must be made about 1 yard from the end.
Conclusion : By this experiment I have learnt about Twist,TPI,Twist Tester. I have
also learnt about how to determine TPI by Twist Tester. I hope this experiment will
help in my future work place.
