31—experimental Studies of the Dimensional Properties of Double-Knit Fabrics

An investigation is reported in which the dimensional properties of some double-jersey structures are compared under conditions whereby the run-in ratio, average loop length, cylinder-and-dial loop length, or dial-only loop length is maintained constant. It is concluded that, on the basis of the average loop length, K values, from which other dimensional parameters can be calculated, may be used to characterize the structures under investigation.
