Textile Calculation

Textile Manufacturing and Design Calculation: From Fibre to Finished Garment provides detailed explanations of standard numerical calculations used at different stages of garment production, including spinning, weaving, processing, garmenting, and testing. At every stage from fibre production to garment manufacturing, textile production involves selection of fibres or filaments, yarns, machines, and process parameters. The calculations involved in this work relate to factors including the requirements of machines in the process line, estimations of process parameters, process characteristics, and machine efficiency. They must be objective and backed by sound theory. Drawing on extensive industry experience, this book gathers these numerical problems from across the supply chain to provide best practice and appropriate solutions. With its comprehensive coverage of all parts of the textile production cycle, this book is essential reading for those preparing to enter the textile industry, as well as an invaluable reference for professionals and researchers. Provides a complete overview of the manufacturing process of yarns and garments, as well as introductory material on the building elements of garments Includes detailed descriptions of industry testing methods for yarns, fibres and garments Explains in close detail calculation methodologies from across the textile production process
