a. Stitch Length b. GSM ray S! should be less than finish S! S! increase with increase of stitch length and it is ad#usted by $%& pulley Stitch length increase with the increase of S! If fabric width increase then stitch length increase and WPI decrease For deep shade stitch length should be higher and vice"versa
For finer gauge finer count should be use If machine gauge increase then fabric width decrease If gauge decrease then stitch length increase
Production increase with increase no+ of feeder Feeder is setted incase of stripe fabric
,o produce high -uality fabric it is necessary to inspect the fabric roll after receiving from different machine+ ,his is done to assure the -uality of the fabric before dyeing+
Inspection Procedure
/s the fabric is produced by the circular knitting machine it is then collected by the -uality inspector and the fabric is thoroughly inspected in front of a white light board+ %uring this inspection the holes0 oil marks0 sinker marks0 needle marks0 barre effects are checked+ If the fabric is within the acceptance level 1by four point system2 then it is sent to the batch section for dyeing or further treatment+ In case of collar and cuff no inspection is done as the collars and cuffs are made in a very precise way by fully automatic or computeri(ed machine+
ualit! Standard
Interstoff /pparels )td+ Follows the four point grading system to inspect the body 3 rib of the fabric+ It is to mention that no inspection of collar or cuff is not done here as these are produce in a very precise manner+ In the four point system the faults are found by inspection and are given points against the fault+ ,hen the total no+ is calculated+ ,he following table shows the four point system+ Si$e of defects 4 inches or less 6ver 4 inch but not over 7 inch 6ver 7 inch but not over 9 inch 6ver 9 inch Four Point Grading S!stem Penalt!
