Russel construction factor

In order to test the influence of the fabric construction parameters on valve behavior, different types of woven fabrics were then compared (Heim et al, 2005). The following parameters were varied (1) fabric weave construction (plain weave or satin), (2) fabric tightness, and (3) yarn specific surface area. The fabric tightness was calculated using the Russel construction factor (C) and is described in warp and weft directions by...
