Gauze weave

Gauze weave This is an example of a special weave pattern where two warp threads are taken around the weft threads, to the right and left alternately. A wide variety of fabrics can be held together more or less closely by points (gauze weave) with plain links. These patterns produce a decorative effect used mainly in veils. 

A variant is gauze weave, which is an open mesh type with only one filling yarn, whereas leno has more than one. 

Marquisette inar-kw3- zet [marquise + -eUe] (1908) n. A lightweight, open-mesh fabric made of cotton, silk, or manufactured fibers in a leno, doup, or gauze weave. Marquisettes are used for curtains, dresses, mosquito nets, and similar end uses. 

A type of weave in which the weft threads are kept apart, passing through loops formed by double-warp threads. Leno gauze fabrics were used as breakers in early tyres and belting. 

Grootenhuis (Proc. Inst. Mech. Eng. [London], A168, 837—846 [1954]) presents data which indicate that for a series of screens, the total pressure drop equals the number of screens times the pressure drop for one screen, and is not affected by the spacing between screens or their orientation with respect to one another, and presents a correlation for frictional losses across plain square-mesh screens and sintered gauzes. Armour and Cannon (AIChE J., 14,415-420 [1968]) give a correlation based on a packed bed model for plain, twill, and dutch weaves. For losses through monofilament fabrics see Pedersen (Filtr. Sep., 11, 586-589 [1975]). For screens Inclined at an angle 0, use the normal velocity component V ... 

Absorbent gauze is the most widely used absorbent and consists of a cotton cloth of plain weave bleached to a good white, clean and reasonably free from weaving defects, cotton leaf, and shell. It may be slightly off-white if sterilized. It absorbs water readily but its performance may be reduced by prolonged storage or exposure to heat. 

Busby et al. [12]. studied the effect of changes in mass flow rates of ammonia-air mixture per unit mass of catalyst at various temperatures on conversion. Their results showed the conversion ranged between 95.2% and 98.4% at temperatures of 850, 875, and 900°C. The optimal condition would still depend on the gauze structure and design (i.e., by the weave and its thickness, etc.). 

Other patented (nonporous) methods to provide support for thin membranes include the cylindrical screens for supporting thin membrane tubes of Bonnet [22], the metal gauze of Juda and Novack [23], the Dutch weave wire netting of Yamauchi, et al. [24], the circular screens of Bonnet [25], the perforated conduits of Eguchi et al. [26], the helical wires of Hollister and Stiles [27], the square perforations of Prolss [28], the corrugated screens of Iniotakis et al. [29], and the var-...

Other textile materials used for wound dressing applications include gauze, lint, and wadding. Gauze is an open weave, absorbent fabric that, when coated with paraffin wax, is used for the treatment of bums and scalds. In surgical applications gauze serves as an absorbent material when used in pad form (swabs) yams containing... 

Cheesecloth n. A low-count, plain weave, soft cotton, or cotton blend cloth also known as gauze.
