How to calculate the yarn twist factor? The twist coefficient is a relative value that expresses the twist degree of the yarn in combination with the linear density, and can be used to compare the twist degree of different thicknesses of yarns. The twist factor can be calculated from the twist of the yarn and the linear density of the yarn.

Twist cannot be used to compare the degree of twist in yarns of different thicknesses, because with the same twist, the fibers of a thicker sliver are skewed more than a finer sliver. In actual production, the twist coefficient is often used to express the twist degree of the yarn.



Twist coefficient calculation formula:

α=t*T^(1/2)

In the formula: α—twist coefficient;

t—twist, twist/10cm;

T—yarn linear density, tex

When the twist coefficient is 360±36, the twist is large and suitable for weaving

When the twist coefficient is 330±36, the twist is small and suitable for knitting

When between 330 and 360, both woven and knitted
