18、 Variation%CV is a standard statisticalcalculation and is the most common index of yarn unevenness.For most textile applications in the 80330 dtex (70300denier) range, a 1.01.3 %CV is adequate. %CV of yarnscoarser than 666 dtex (600 denier) is not routine and usuallynot meaningful. %CV is less discr

19、iminating that %DS.5.3.2 Bad/Good Test%BGT, which will normally be up to20 % greater than %DS value, emphasizes the greatest spreadin the entire length tested, (%DS is an average). If the value isgreater than 50 % of the %DS, it suggests that there is a processthat needs to be investigated.5.3.3 Den

20、sity Spread%DS is equivalent to the Uster %unevenness (Test Method D 1425) and is an indication ofshort-term variability. Yarns with extreme values are morelikely to cause trouble in subsequent yarn processes, whichmakes this perhaps the most useful index. The minimumachievable and maximum tolerance

21、 spread for a yarn productwill depend on the yarn manufacturing process and end use. Aspread of 34 % generally is, for most textile applications, inthe range of 160550 dtex (150 to 500 deniers). More criticalapplications, such as those using finer yarns, may require lowervalues.5.3.4 Density Frequen

22、cy VariabilityDFV is an index ofspacing variability, whereas the others are indices of magnitudeor unevenness. Frequency variability can induce resonance inhigh-speed processing and is a common source of barre, dyestreaks, or patterned unevenness in fabrics.6. Apparatus6.1 Automatic Yarn Numbering I
