The yarn, which consists of two or more yarns being folded and twisted together, is called plied (floater) yarn.
These yarns are obtained in doubling and twisting machines. These yarns are produced for the following purposes:
>>> Obtaining more durable yarn
>>> Obtaining smoother yarn
>>> To give a color effect to the yarn
>>> To obtain fancy yarn with certain properties by twisting yarns of different colors, types and numbers.
Two methods are used to calculate the number of ply twisted yarn:
>>> Floater calculation according to the length system
>>> Floater calculation according to weight system
Calculating the Ply Yarn (Flator) in the Length Numbering System
N1= Number of first single ply yarn
N2= Number of second single ply yarn
N3= Number of third single ply yarn
N4=Number of fourth single ply yarn
Nz = Pleated yarn count
Finding the number of two-ply yarns (floaters)
Finding the number of tri-ply yarns (floaters)
Finding the number of four ply yarns (floaters)
If N1=30Nm, N2=40Nm then Nz=Nm?
If N1=24Nip, N2=12Nip then Nz=Nip?
N1=32Nike, N2=42Nike, N3=12Nike Nz=Nike?
If Nz=10Nm, N2=30Nm then N1 =Nm?
Calculation of Ply Yarn (Flator) in Weight Numbering System
N1= Number of first single ply yarn
N2= Number of second single ply yarn
Nz = Pleated yarn count
Finding the double yarn count
Nz = N1+N2
Finding the tri-ply yarn number
Nz = N1+N2+N3
Finding the four-ply yarn count
Nz = N1+N2+N3+N4
If N1=30Nd, N2=40Nd then Nz=Nd?
If N1=24Ntex, N2=12Ntex then Nz=Ntex?
N1=32Nd, N2=42Nd, N3=12Nd Nz=Nd ?
