Paper Details

From whatever research work done until now, very little information is available on the level for the variousclasses of faults as per the count. Uster statistics 2001 does not provide any information on faults, while Uster statistics1997 which does provide some information on faults does not give guideline on the level of various classes of faults fordifferent counts. Moreover the publication of the last ten years, gives information about the sources of faults, theircauses, remedies and their effect on fabric appearance, there is however no publication available on the categorizationof the various classes of faults under different types and their percent contribution. There is considerable literatureavailable on the research work done on the effect of various categories of faults, mainly objectionable on the fabricappearance. Though it is documented in various papers that yarn faults (objectionable) not only affect fabric appearancebut also causes end breakage in subsequent processes resulting to in low production and higher production cost with lowefficiency, but this is not supported by any systematic study or data. No published information is available on thephysical characteristic of the various faults according to type or classes, therefore the assessment of physical propertiesof the faults under different classes of faults and various types of faults to understand their effect on the further processesis necessary.
