    The document describes the yarn lea strength tester machine and its testing process. It measures the strength of 120 yards of cotton yarn using a constant rate of extension. 20 yarn samples are tested to determine their length, strength, weight, count, and CSP value. The average CSP was found to be 2397.16 with a CV% of 4.16%, and the yarn strength was 97 lb. The machine works by fixing the yarn sample between jaws and recording the breaking strength at a constant extension rate.

    Yarn Lea Strength Tester:


    Introduction:

    C.S.P is the product of English count and strength of yarn in pound.

    i.e. C.S.P = Strength of yarn in pound x Count in English system.

    Again, english count is the no. of hanks in 840 yards length per 1 pound weight of yarn.

    i.e. Count = ( L X w) / (l X W)

    Here,
    L = length of the sample & l = unit length of the system
    W = wt. Of the sample & w = unit wt. of the system.

    Principle: 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 m/c works in
    constant rate of extension (CRE).
    Apparatus:

    1. Cotton yarn
    2. Wrap reel
    3. Lea strength tester
    4. Electrical balance
    M/c specification:

     Name: The Lea Strength Tester


     Company: Good brand & Co. Ltd.
     Capacity: 100lb
    Testing atmosphere:

     Temperature – 29 oC and relative humidity – 76%


     Standard atmosphere: temperature – 20 oC and relative humidity - 65%.
    Sample:

     Size - One lea cotton yarn (1 lea =120 yards).


     No. of sample – 20.
    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 m/c 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.

    5 120 98.99 2.60 24.92 2466.83 2397.16 99.9 4.16
    Calculation:
    Suppose for first sample, we find length = 120 yards and weight = 2.315gm.
    Now we know, 1 lb = 453.6 gm.
    Then Count = 24.9 » 25 Ne
    And C.S.P = 24.9 X 86 = 2141.39
    In this way others are calculated.
    Here CV% = 4.16%

    Result:

     The strength of cotton yarn is 97 lb


     C.S.P is 2397.16
     C.V% for C.S.P is 4.16%
