Abstract

The article reviews some of the significant researches in the yarn splicing technology. The effect of important factors on the breaking force of wet spliced yarns has been studied by means of a central composite design, which is a statistical tool. The impact of vent pressure on the quality of yarn splicing when twisting and untwisting has been investigated. Modelling, analysis, and simulation of the air splice is done with the integration of two software’s, so as to analyse the flow field and obtain the effect of speed and pressure of the inside the splicing chamber when changing the speed and the pressure while maintaining the diameter of the splicing, the vent hole diameter and the relative angle unaltered. The influence of cotton/polyester fibre blend ratios on spliced portion diameter at various splicing air pressures has been studied. Studies have been directed regarding the influence of various yarn splicing parameters on the strength, elongation and the appearance of spliced cotton/flax yarn. A number of independent variables have been considered. A half factorial experimental design has been used with two levels of each variable. The design and analysis of experiments have been achieved with a specific software.
