FAQ
2) ‘Higher size add-on may or may not enhance the efficiency of weaving
process’. Explain the statement.
3) Two lots of same yarn were sized using same recipe and same machine.
The final add-on% was also same in both the lots. But the warp breakage
rate was found to be significantly different in the two lots. What could be
the probable reasons from sizing viewpoint?
5) What are the desirable characteristics of size materials? How Starch fulfils
or fails to fulfill those requirements?
6) How the viscosity of the starch paste changes during the cooking
operation? Explain with neat diagram.
7) What are the advantages of PVA over Starch as sizing material? What are
the different variants of PVA used in sizing?
8) What is thin boiling starch? How it can be beneficial than the normal starch
in sizing process. Use sizing diagram to explain your answer.
9) Explain how the hardness and thickness of synthetic cover of the squeeze
roller influence the wet pick up in sizing?
10) How the speed of sizing machine can possibly influence the wet pick up?
14) What are the different drying processes for the sized yarn? How the water
evaporation requirement can be estimated if the add-on, wet pick up and
oven dry mass of yarn passing through the size box per minute is known?
15) Why is it important to regulate the moisture content of sized yarn prior to
winding the same onto a beam? Why sized warp sheet is often splitted in
two groups before drying in a multi-zone drying system.
16) For a sized yarn the targeted add on is 10%. The concentration of paste is
20%. How much water has to be evaporated (approximately) during drying
if the supply warp sheet has 100 kg of oven dry weight.
18) A sizing machine is running at 125 m/min with 5925 ends. The add on
requirement is 15% and concentration of the size paste is 10%. If yarn
count is 30 tex then calculate the number of drying cylinder required, if one
drying cylinder can evaporate 6 kg water per min.
19) 20s Ne cotton yarn with 60% packing fraction is being sized. The width of
the warp sheet in the sizing zone is 1.5 m and the number of yarns is 5000.
Calculate the equivalent yarn diameter (EYD).
20) A sizing machine operates at 100 m/min with a constant squeeze pressure
for preparation of 12 tex warp yarn. A 10% size recipe is prepared to give
wet pick-up of 120%. Calculate the size material cost and drying cost per
kg of warp yarn if the dry sized yarn has to retain 7% water, size cost is Rs
100 per kg and drying cost is Rs 30 per kg of water to be evaporated from
the wet sized yarn.
