Evaluation of fabric defects in a weaving mill

Abstract

In today's global market, the quality of a textile material does matter just as much as its price, although the acceptable level of quality varies with end uses. The quality of woven fabrics is entirely dependent on the properties of yarn and nature of preparation and weaving operations. In case of finished fabrics, dyeing and finishing operations are also equally important. In this paper, common defects occurring in a jacquard weaving mill are described and frequency distribution of these defects are analysed. The fabric defects are analysed in consideration of both fabric style and defect type. It is noticed that certain fabric styles are more prone to specific fabric faults and recurrence of certain faults can be remedied by taking necessary precautions.
