Different Terms and Definitions of Weaving Technology:

By
There are some important textile terms and definitions which are vastly used in textile sector have explained in the below:
1. What is weaving?
The action of producing fabrics by the interlacement of warp and weft yarn is known as weaving.
2. What is doubling?
According to the requirements of end used two or more yarns twisted together is known as doubling.
3. What is winding?
The process of transferring yarns from ring, bobbins, hank etc. into convenient packages termed as winding.
4. What is creelling?
The process for holding supplied packages on creel is known as creelling.
5. What is warping?
The parallel winding of warp ends in sheet forms from many small winding package (cone or cheese) on to a common packages (warp beam) is termed as warping.
6. What is sizing?
The process of applying a protective adhesive coating materials on the yarns surface is known as sizing. This is the most important operation to attain maximum weaving efficiency.
7. What is drafting?
To draw the warp yarn through the heald eye by the drawing hook according to the design or pattern of the fabric is termed as drafting.
8. What is denting?
To draw the warp yarn through the dent of the reed by the drawing hook according to the design or pattern of the fabrics is known as denting.
9. What is looming?
The process involved in preparing a weavers beam is set on the loom bracket at the back side of the loom is termed as looming.
10. What do you mean by “inspection of grey cloth”?
In textile industry, undyed and unfinished fabrics straight from the loom are called grey cloth. The activity such as measuring, examining, gauging, testing or more characteristics of grey cloth and comparing with the specified requirements to determine conformity is termed as “inspection of grey cloth”. 

11. What is winding efficiency?
The percentage expression of the ratio of the actual production to the calculated production is termed as winding efficiency.
12. What do you mean by size take-up percentage?
The amount of size material added on the yarn surface is known as size take-up percentage.

13. What is loom in weaving?
The device which is used to produce woven fabric is termed as loom. It is not a machine.
14. What is drawing-in?
It is the entering of yarns from a new warp into the weaving elements of a weaving machine named drop wires, heald eyes and reed when starting up a new fabrics style.
15. What is creel?
It is a structure for holding supply packages in textile processing.
16. What is loom brake?
Brake is to stop the loom applying pressure or force. The object of loom brake is to stop the loom instantly in case of any fault.
17. What is dwell period?
Dwell is the stationary period when the heald frames do not change their position and the shade remains open to allow the passage of the shuttle from one shuttle box to another.
18. What is reversing motion?
The opposition motion of loom motion is known as reversing motion.
19. What is let-off motion?
The process of unwinding and delivering the required amount of warp sheet from the warp beam to the weaving zone at the required rate and maintain uniform tension on warp yarn and fabric produced during weaving is known as let-off motion.

20. What is take-up motion?
The process of withdrawing fabric from weaving zone at a constant rate and then winding the woven fabric on the cloth roller with the continuous progress of weaving is known as take-up motion.
21. What is pick?
A single weft thread in a woven fabric is known as pick.
22. What is ends?
A single warp thread or yarn in a woven fabric is known as ends.

23. What is sley?
The oscillating part of a weaving machine positioned between the heads and the feel of the cloth which carries the reed is known as sley. It is also known in the U.K as lay, lathe, batter etc.
24. What is sley eccentricity ratio?
The ratio of crank circle and length of crank arm is known as sley eccentricity ratio.
25. What is shed?
Dividation of yarns into two parts for insertion of weft yarns is known as shed.

Important Terms Used in Knitting Sector:

By
Some important terms of knitting have presented in the below: 1. Course: A course is a predominantly horizontal raw of needle loops which is produced by adjacent needles during the same knitting cycle is known as course.  In case of weft knitted fabric , a course is composed of yarn from a single supply termed as a course length (Number of loop × Loop length). 2. Wales: In knitting sector, a wale is a predominantly vertical column of inter-meshed needle loops which is generally produced by the same needle knitting cycles i.e. the no. of vertical columns of loop of knit fabric is known as wales. In case of warp knitting, a wale can be produced from the same yarn . It should be noted here that, wales are connected together across the width of the fabric by sinker loops (weft knitting) or under laps (warp knitting). 3. Needle: A needle is a hooked metal part which is used for the formation f loops. It is the principle knitting elements of the knit...

Documentation for Shipment

By
When we refer to documentation in the process of export, we usually refer to the preparation of documents which the shipper uses to collect money for the goods shipped. Therefore, this is the final of the transaction and an important step. Documents are prepared according to terms of payment between exporter and his buyer. However, no matter it is L / C payment or DP, DA or open account, exporter must prepare his documents to satisfy the following parties: (I) Exporter must prepare his documents to satisfy The Buyer’s Bank who has open the L/C to exporter if it is L/C payment, otherwise exporter will have delay in receiving the proceeds of the goods have shipped. (ii) Exporter must prepare his documents to satisfy the customs otherwise the customs will make delay in clearing the goods through Customs. (iii) Exporter must prepare his documents to satisfy the buyer giving him the correct information in all respect, particularly all the packing details in order to enable him to distribute...

Letters of Credit (L/C)

By
What Letters Of Credit (L/C) Is Letters of Credit (L/C) is in general a conditional document extended by the bank in connection with presentation of export value. L/C plays a very dominant role in this matter. On receipt of this document from the buyer, the exporters become sure that they would obtain foreign currency after the peaceful shipment of the consignment directed by the buyer in the L/C. And for monetary transactions in this connection the negotiating banks stand as a symbol of surety for the exporters. Negotiating bank act on behalf of the exporter and is held liable or responsible for realization of exporter’s money from the L/C opening bank. A credit may be advised to a beneficiary through another bank (the advising bank) without engagement on the part of the advising bank, but that bank shall take reasonable care to check the apparent authenticity of the credit which it advises. All credits will always clearly indicate whether they are available by sight paymen...
