Title:

Investigation of various twist insertion methods on roving frame & ring frame.

Objective:
To become familiar with principle of twisting on roving and ring frame. To calculate TPI (Twist per Inch) & TPM (Twist per Meter). To calculate TPI & TPM on roving and ring frame by direct method of tachometer. To understand TCP (Twist change Pinion) on roving and ring frame.

Equipment:
Ring frame RY-5, roving frame FL-16, tachometer, calliper, measuring tape, sample of yarn.

Procedure:
Roving Frame Diameter of front roller was measured with tape. RPM of front draft roller were measured by tachometer. RPM of flyer were measured by tachometer. TPI were calculated as under. TPI = Flyer RPM / Front roller delivery Ring Frame Diameter of front roller was measured with tape. RPM of front draft roller were measured by tachometer. RPM of spindle were measured by tachometer. TPI were calculated as under. TPI = Spindle RPM / Front roller delivery Result was verified by twist tester.

Observations & Calculations:

Result:
TPI of roving frame comes out 1.25 TPI of ring frame comes out to be 11.32

Conclusion:

Twister results show that TPI of Ring Frame are almost accurate with difference of 0.2 i.e., only 1.7 %.
