Different test were processed to get the best quality and production by varying the cotton and PC in filling. Three types of weave fabrics i.e. plain weave, satin weave (4/1) and twill (3/1) weave fabric samples were manufactured by different variables to perform Tensile Strength, Abrasion Resistance, Pilling and GSM. This study was carried out on projectile weaving machine inspite of air jet weaving machine because the yarn untwisted parameter is found in the weft insertion at air jet weaving machine. The yarn untwisting also varies from filling to receiving unit which may affect the results of any test. As the OE yarns have already loosely wrapped sheath as compared to ring-spun combed and carded yarns. The 100% carded cotton ring spun yarn, 100% combed cotton ring spun yarn and OE yarns were inserted as a weft to evaluate the entire variable. Similarly for further studies and research PC (50:50) carded ring spun yarn, PC combed ring spun yarn and PC Open-end yarns were used in weft insertion. In this research study tensile strength, pilling, GSM, crimp percentage and abrasion properties of woven fabrics made from 100% cotton and PC (50:50) carded and combed ring spun yarns were investigated. And same properties were also investigated from woven fabrics made from 100% cotton and PC (50:50) carded and combed OE yarn. It is concluded that there was found significant and non-significant effect of ring (carded and combed) and open-end yarns mostly due to similar twist and count when made up into different fabric for all the fabric characteristics. For this reason, all the phases of this study were specifically carried out under common working conditions.enMS ThesisWeaving MachineTextileThesis
