REED COUNT SELECTION IN WEAVING.

REED COUNT SELECTION IN WEAVING:-

Reed count selection in weaving, Reed count calculation in weaving, Reed space calculation in weaving:-

Reed plays a very important role in the production of fabric. Reed count for a given fabrics swatch , it is necessary to know about the role of the reed in weaving loom .

1. The reed of a loom performs beating-up motion in loom.

2. The reed also decides the ends or inch in the fabrics to be woven.

3. It also helps to maintain a regular gap between adjacent ends.

COUNT OF REED:-

"The number of dents per two inches is called Reed Count in stock port system". This system is extensively used in the weaving industry.

Before selecting the count of reed to be used to weave given fabric, the following fabrics parameters analysed precisely.

1) Dent Marks and denting order appearing in the fabrics.

 A gap between end left by the dent wire if the reed in the fabrics during weaving is called a dent marks. It look clearly with help of a counting glass in the grey fabrics. It gets a little difficult to see the dent mark in the fabric after processing . An expert technician can see these dents marks in grey and processed fabrics both with the help of counting glass . These dents marks decides the denting order of warp ends in the reed

2) WEFT REGAIN:-

The important parameters of the fabric plays a decisive role in making the selection of accurate reed count in weaving. Technicians should be very careful during weft regain analysis " the weft regain is the ratio of the difference between straightened weft length and search length expressed in the term of percentage.

3) FABRIC WIDTH:- 

The distance between both selvedge of fabric is called fabric width . 

EPI of the fabric :- The warp ends per inch is known as EPI.

Now suppose that required fabrics parameters are as follows; 

EPI = 100, Fabric width= 80 inches, Weft regain= 4.2 , and Denting order = 2 ends per inch , 

The reed calculation is as below,
