Abstract

The air drag force on stationary yarn at different lengths was measured through a tube and confuser guides. It was found that, yarns spun from G 75 Cotton fibers showed a higher air drag force than those spun from G 31 and G 70 Cottons. The presence of polyester fibers in the blend led to a decrease in air drag force. Comparison between yarns made from carded and combed cotton was made, combed cotton yarns have less air drage than those spun from Carded cotton. Egyptian cotton yarns plyed on the two-for-one twister showed a higher air drage than those plyed on the ring twister.
