Experimental determination of cotton yarn strength at different speeds of movement obtained by various technological methods

Our results on the strength parameters of cotton yarns manufactured by carded and combed systems by ring and rotor spinning (CD-carded ring-spun, OE-carded rotor-spun, CM-combed ring-spun) are presented. Experiments to test yarns for strength were conducted on a “Statimat C” tensile installation at speeds of the lower end of the yarn from 100 mm/min to 1000 mm/min. From the diagrams of yarn stretching to breaking, the changes in breaking load, specific breaking load, critical strain values at which the yarn breaks, time of stretching before breaking, depending on the strain rate for the considered types of yarns, were determined. The analysis of the experimental results obtained shows the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the change in strength parameters of three varieties of yarns
