Linear Density
Ō The thickness or diameter of a yarn is
one of its most fundamental properties
Ō However, it is not possible to measure
the diameter of a yarn in any meaningful
way

Linear Density
Ō This is because the diameter of a yarn
changes quite markedly as it is compressed
Ō Because of these problems a system of
denoting the fineness of a yarn by
weighing a known length of it has evolved

Linear Density
ŌThis quantity is known as the linear
density and it can be measured with a high
degree of accuracy if a sufficient length of
yarn is used

Count Determination
Ō Irrespective of the system of yarn
numbering employed, two basic
requirements for the determination of yarn
number are..

Count Determination
ő An accurate value for the sample
length
ő An accurate value
for its weight

Count Determination
Ō The methods determination of yarn
count depend to a large extent on the form
in which the yarn is available for testing

Count Determination
Ō For example
ő when yarn is in form of ring bobbin a
long sample length is possible
ő when yarn is in form of fabric, only a
number of short lengths are available

Weight Measurement
Ō Balances
ő The analytical balances and any other
balances used in determination of count
must be accurate and calibrated time to
time in order to get the exact readings

Weight Measurement
Ō Moisture
ő Moisture contain can affect the results
largely so it is very important to do 24
hrs conditioning of the sample in
standard atmospheric condition

Beesley Balance
Ō A number of special yarn balances are
available which are designed to furnish the
a quick estimate of the count, especially
when only small samples are at hand
Ō One of such balance is BEESLEY Balance

Beesley Balance
Ō The Beesley Balance consists of a
lightweight beam pivoted on jewel
bearings with a hook at one end and a
pointer at the other

Beesley Balance
Ō The beam is initially levelled to bring the
pointer against a datum line
Ō A standard weight is suspended in a
notch on the beam arm on the pointer
side.

Beesley Balance
Ō A template is used to cut short lengths of
yarn, the length depending upon the count
system required
Ō These lengths are placed on the hook until
the pointer comes against the datum line

Beesley Balance
Ō The number of short lengths required to
balance the beam gives the count of the
yarn

Beesley Balance
Ō A template is provided to give lengths of
yarn in Metric, Cotton, Linen, Wool Skein, and
worsted counts
Ō The balance is housed in a sheet metal case
having sliding transparent antistatic glass
doors
