CSP Analysis of Cotton Yarn Strength

The document describes the process of measuring the Count Strength Product (CSP) of cotton yarn using a lea strength tester, which evaluates yarn strength in pounds based on English count. It outlines the apparatus, testing conditions, and working procedure for conducting the test, including calculations for CSP and average values. The results indicate that the tested yarn samples have a CSP of 2317.82, categorizing them as strong fibers.

yarn strength test and CSP of cotton yarn using

lea strength tester.


INTRODUCTION
Definition: CSP in cotton yarn refers to Count Strength
Product, a measure of the yarn's strength. or
C.S.P is the product of English count and strength of yarn in
pound.

Formula: C.S.P = Strength of yarn in pound x Count in


English system.
Count in the English system
Definition: English count is the no. of hanks in 840 yards
length per 1 pound weight of yarn.
Lxw
Count = ————————
lxW
Here,
L = length of the sample
l = unit length of the system
W = wt. Of the sample
w = unit wt. of the system
Strength of yarn in pound

1. A lea strength tester measures the strength of one lea yarn.


One lea means 120 yards. Strength is a measure of the
steady force necessary to break a material and is
measured in pound. The machine works in a constant rate
of extension.
2. According to the applied force , the machine dial gives us
the strength in pounds (lb) based on this.
Apparatus
1. cotton yarn
2. Wrap reel
3. Lea strength tester
4. Electrical balance
Machine specification
1. The Lea Strength Tester
2. Good brand & Co. Ltd.
3. Capacity: 100lb
Testing atmosphere:
1. Temperature – 29 °C and relative humidity – 76%
2. Standard atmosphere: temperature – 20 °C and relative
humidity – 65%.

Sample
1. Size – One lea cotton yarn (1 lea =120 yards).
2. No. of sample – X.
WORKING PROCEDURE
1. At first one lea cotton yarn is measured by wrap reel and in this
way 20 samples are taken for testing.
2. Now, the first sample is fixed with the upper jaw J1 and the lower
jaw J2.
3. The m/c is started and observed the dial until the sample is torn
out.
4. When the sample is torn out the machine is stopped and the
reading is taken.
5. By this way the others’ reading are taken.
6. Then all the samples are weighted and counts are calculated.
7. C.S.P of the all samples are calculated.
8. At last average and CV% are calculated.
Calculation
Suppose for first sample;
We find, Where,
Yarn Count, Ne = English Count
 Weight = gm
 Length = yds
 Weight Unit = 1 lbs (453.56 gm)
 Length Unit = 840 yds

 Now,
C.S.P = Strength of Yarn in pound × Count in English System
= ×
=
 Average C.S.P (Mean value) = (Total C.S.P ÷ No of Reading)
=
=
 It is considered that fibres having C.S.P less than 1800 are
bad or weak, between 1800-2200 are average and greater than
2200 are strong. From our experiment we see that our
samples’ average
 C.S.P is 2317.82 which is greater than the std 2200 and CV%
is 4.50. This is proved that there are many variations in this
range but our supplied yarn has good strength. So finally we
can say that these yarns have good strength fibres.
