Thread count

Fabric-Based Grades. Grade C is made from cotton fabric weighing over 140 g/m (4 oz/yd ). The maximum thread count in any ply is 28/cm (72/in.) in the fiU direction, and the maximum total thread count in the warp and fiU directions is 56/cm (140/in.). Heavier fabrics provide higher impact strength but rougher machined edges. Its use for electrical apphcations is not recommended. 

Hospital steriliza tion is more limited in the availabiHty of steriliza tion methods and of packaging materials. Microbial invasion can occur particularly when articles are wrapped in traditional fabrics such as muslin (140-thread-count cotton). The expected shelf life of hospital-wrapped and sterilized articles is considered to be ca 21—30 days when a double-wrapping technique is used. Double-wrapping requires two successive wraps, each having a layer or layers of an approved packaging material.

Materials. The linen was a bleached handkerchief linen ( 1.-61) with a thread count of 60 x 50 picks/inch from Testfabrics, Inc. All direct dyes were commercial grade from Aldrich Chemical Co., while sodium sulfate was reagent grade from Mallinckrodt Chemical Co. 

Mathematical equations were developed to calculated the effective thermal conductivity of pile carpets. The fibers were oriented parallel, perpendicular, and on a diagonal to the carpet foundation and factors such as fineness of filaments, thread count of horizontal and vertical loops, and extent of fiber crimping were related to thermal conductivity (jfc). 

Treatment Sequence. The textile used for the experiments was unbleached and undyed cotton. The fragment was plain weave and had a thread count of 17 X 12/cm (warp X weft), and the yams were spun with a Z twist. The textile was dated from about A.D. 1100 to A.D. 1350 and was attributed to the Peruvian central coast. It was only moderately dirty and was in excellent condition.

What is considered a high thread count in down and feather products A thread count of between 200 and 400 (per square inch) is sufficient, but thread count can go as high as 800 or 1000 threads. (It is important to note that for down and feather quality control purposes, two-ply threads are counted as one thread). 

Two denim fabrics of 100% cotton and 50/50 cotton-polyester were used. A catalogue survey showed these fiber contents to be common in men s work clothing. Both fabrics were a 2/1 left-hand twill weave. The cotton and cotton-polyester fabrics had a thread count of 60 X 42 and 65 x 47, respectively. Average weight of both... 

The fabrics used in this study were prepared by the Southern Regional Lab especially for the 13 states involved in the S-163 Project. They Include 100% cotton, 100% polyester, and a 50/50 cotton/polyester blend. Fabrics are print cloth, woven construction, with a thread count of 70W x 78F, 3.5 ounce per square yard. All fabrics were wet finished and heat set. A durable press finish (DMDHEU) was applied to cotton and cotton/polyester fabrics. A water repellent fluorocarbon finish (Corpel) and an acrylic acid soil-release finish were applied to all three types of fabrics. Our preliminary findings for the AATCC spray test are reported here.

The majority of textile systems use the same fabric type throughout their thickness, but there are examples of armour using varied types. For instance, the requirement for high cover factors is oidy for the layers in contact with the projectile, so it may be beneficial to have high cover factor fabric towards the impact face and coarser weave fabric to the rear. A preference for lower cover factor coarse fabric is economic, as cost tends to scale with thread count. 

Thread count n. (1) The number of ends and picks per inch in a woven cloth. (2) The number of wales and courses per inch in a knit fabric. 

Fabric specifications generally include the type of weave the thread count, in both warp and fill whether the yam is filament or staple the crimp, in percentage the twist per inch and the yam number for warp and fiU. 

The mock leno weave is an open weave that resembles a leno and is accomplished by systems of interlacings that draw a group of threads together and leave a space between the group and the next. The warp threads do not actually cross each other as in a real leno and, therefore, no special attachments are required for the loom. This type of weave is generally used when a high thread count is required for strength and the fabric must remain porous.
