Translation of Textile Yarn Properties in Cordage.

Abstract

This Report describes work on a series of commercially available cordages of nylon, polypropylene, polyester, glass, aramid and acrylic fibers, with the aim of finding the translational effects of yarn and cordage construction on physical properties. It was found that while count and extension increase, breaking strength, tenacity, modulus and energy absorption decrease with increasing complexity of construction. Except for count these properties also vary on translation with fibre type, heat treatment and surface finishing.
