6、Significance and Use3.1 Terminology D3888 was originally developed as a terminology standard for rotor spinning when it evolved as a new yarnspinning technology in the 1980s. Ring spinning production had been the traditional spinning since the early 1800s when handspinning became mechanized. Rotor s

7、pinning and other spinning technologies increased yarn production rates and formed yarnsby different mechanical means that generated yarns with characteristics unlike traditional ring-spun yarns. The revision of thisdocument is intended to compile terminology for current yarn spinning systems into o

8、ne standard rather than individual standards,in that all yarn formation is generated by processing raw fiber into a spun yarn by using common preparation steps, such asopening, cleaning, carding, roving formation, and sometimes combing. Terminology in this standard is grouped by the type ofspinning

9、system and in chronological order of their development and production usage. It should be noted that the higher end ofyarn number ranges cited with each spinning system are possible but are rare in actual production.4. Terminology4.1 Ring SpinningRing spinning is the oldest spinning system in use, t

10、herefore ring-spun yarns are the basis for comparingyarns produced from other spinning systems. See Fig. 1. Production rates are low when compared to new spinning systems. Theproduction delivery capability of ring spinning is limited by traveler velocity and the twist limits of the yarn number being

11、 made;the speed may range between 10 and 20 m/min. Ring spinning allows for the production of the widest range of yarn numbers from200 to 2 tex (Nec 3/1 to 300/1). Ring-spun yarns are produced by drafting rovings between pairs of rollers, twisting the draftedroving by passing it under a traveler tha

12、t rotates around a fixed ring on the frame of the spinning machine, and winding the twistedstrand on a removable bobbin mounted on a rotating spindle. Ring spun yarns are characterized by a uniform fiber orientationaround the yarn axis. See Fig. 1.1 This terminology is under the jurisdiction of ASTM
