Sheet1WEAVING ,TXD 401, WEAVING CALCULATIONSDents:the space between two metalic stripes of reed is called "DENT "Dents/inch:total number of dents in one inch of a reed is called dents /inchReed Number /Reed count :the dents /inch of a reed is called reed number or reed counte.g if a reed has 40 dents in 1 inch, then reed count or reed number is 40.

Reed Filling:it is the number of threads passing though 1 dent of a reed.there can be 1,2 or 3 number of threads passing though 1 dents.as the number of thread passing through one dent increases fabric appearance become thicker.Total reed width:it is the total space of a reed that will be used to fill up with yarn.Warping:warping is a process which is used to achive following objectives for weavingA) To get the total number of threads that will be required to fill the reed.B) To get the total length of yarn required for weaving of the fabric.Total warping length:the total warping warping length includes:1) the waste yarn that will be remained on loom after weaving is completed.2) the yarn that will be used to weave the fabric.TO CALCULATE THE TOTAL THREADS REQUIRED IN A REED

Find out the reed count40it means that there are 40 dents in one inch of the reedDecide the reed filling2it means that there are 2 threads passing through one dent of the reedDecide the total reed width14it means that 14 inch of the reed dents will be filled Total threads required for weavingReed Count x Reed filling x Total Reed Width40x2x14:1120

Total threads required for weaving1120Total reed dents560 ( divide the total threads with reed filling)

the space between 2 stripes of reed is called "dent"
