Merchandising School: How to Calculate Warp and Weft Weight in Textile Industry?

Warp Weight and Weft Weight Calculation Method Followed in Textile Weaving Industry:

In case of weaving process, warp and weft yarn weight calculation is too much important. This article has presented an easy method of warp yarn weight calculation. In another article I will try to present the other method of weft yarn weight calculation which will be very effective in your textile job profession.

Warp Yarn Weight Calculation Method in Textile Weaving:

The below formula have to follow to calculate warp weight in textile weaving industry.

Weight of warp yarn in pounds,

Length of warp in yds ×Number of ends

= ……………………………………………………...

840× Count

The below examples will clear your all the confusions related with warp weight calculation.

Problem-01:

Calculate the weight of warp on a set of back beams which contains 2940 ends. The length of warp on each beam being 16000 yds and count of 50s.

Solution:

Here,

Length of warp in yds= 16000,

Total number of ends= 2940,

Yarn count= 50s,

Weight of warp yarn in pounds=?

Now,

Weight of warp yarn in pounds,

Length of warp in yds ×Number of ends

= ……………………………………………………

840× Count

16000×2940

= ……………………

840×50

= 1120 pounds.

So, warp yarn weight for this calculation stands at 1120 pounds.

Problem-02:

A super speed beam warpers with a warping speed of 880 yds per minute is preparing a standard warp of 525 ends. If the yarn count is 30s and efficiency is 84% then calculate the weight of warp yarn.

Solution:

Here,

No. of ends=525,

Calculated production=880yds,

Yarn count=30s,

Efficiency=84%=0.84,

Warp yarn weight=?

So,

Total weight of warp yarn in pound,

Total length of warp in yds ×No. of ends

= ……………………………………………… … (1)

840× Yarn count
