MEASUREMENT OF MOISTURE
All textile materials are more or less hygroscopic. They contain a certain amount of moisture
depending upon the relative humidity of surrounding atmosphere.
Cotton 8.5%
Wool 17%
Viscose 11-13%
Silk 11%
Jute 14%
Polyester 0.3-0.4%
Acrylic 3-4%
Nylon 4.2%
Absolute Humidity:
Weight of water in a unit volume of moist air. It is usually denoted by gm/m 3 or grain/f3.
Relative Humidity:
It is the ratio of actual vapor pressure divided by the saturated vapour pressure multiply by 100.
R.H% = 98.6
Original weight:
This is the wt. Of material in its original condition containing any level of moisture. It is usually
denoted by O.W.
Dry weight:
The weight of material dried at oven state. The temperature in the oven is 105 0C.
C.C.W =

COTTON PURCHASE
Q. A spinning unit has purchased lint of 20,000kg at 8.5% moisture regain. Calculate the
reduction in wt. If the moisture regain is found to be 10.2%.
Sol.

kg. Sample wt was 13oz and dry wt was 11oz find out the conditioned wt of consignment and
conditioned price if price per lbs is 60 Rs. Also calculate M.R and M.C.
Sol.
= 34000kg
CCW. = D 1.085
R% = W100/D
= 2100/11 = 18%
M% = W100/ (W+D)

Growth rate checking is used to find out fiber demage due to the beaters. In growth rate
checking increase in percentage of short fibers is determined afer beating action of beater, if
there is increase in percentage of short fibers afer beating growth rate is not good and its mean
that fiber is demaging up by the beater.
Mean:
It is the average value of two or more values e.g. X1, X2, X3, X4, are any values there mean is
calculated as:
X = X1 + X2 + X3 + X4+./n
Standard diviation:
The standard deviation is the square root of the mean of the squares of the deviations of the
observations from their mean.
Coefficient of variation:
By expressing the standard deviation as a percentage of tegh mena we obtain the coefficient of
variation, C.V.% .
