Investigation Of Technological Parameters Of Patterned Knitted Fabrics
Annotatsiya
In this study, the technological parameters of patterned knitted fabrics were investigated. Experimental samples were produced on a LONG-XING SM-252 flat knitting machine of 12-gauge using polyacrylonitrile-based yarn (35 tex × 2) in three variants. The variants differed by integrating independent layers through the ground yarn, modifying the pattern repeat, and adjusting the loop spacing, which led to a reduction in raw material consumption and an improvement in shape retention. During the experiment, key parameters such as surface density, thickness, loop spacing, course height, loop length, horizontal and vertical densities, and volumetric density were measured for each sample. The results demonstrated that constructive design solutions in patterned knitting significantly contribute to reducing material consumption, enhancing shape stability, and broadening the product range.
