The difference between knitted fabrics and woven fabrics

Knitted fabrics and woven fabrics due to different methods in the weave, in the processing process, fabric structure, fabric characteristics, finished products, have their own unique characteristics, here to make some comparisons: (A) the composition of the fabric organization: (A) knitted fabrics: is formed by the yarn sequence bending into coils, and the coils of each other to form the fabric.

(A) the composition of the fabric organization: (A) knitted fabrics: is bent by the yarn sequence into coils, and coils in series with each other and the formation of fabric, and the formation of coils of yarn, can be horizontal or longitudinal process, horizontal weaving is called weft fabric, and longitudinal weaving is called warp knitted fabric. (B) woven fabric: is by two or more groups of mutually perpendicular yarn, to 90 degrees angle for warp and weft interwoven fabric, longitudinal yarn called warp yarn, transverse yarn called weft yarn.

(B) the basic unit of fabric organization: (A) knitted fabric: the loop is the smaller basic unit of knitted fabric, and the loop is composed by the loop stem and extension line in a space curve. (B) woven fabrics: warp and weft yarn between each intersection point is called tissue point, is the smaller basic unit of the woven fabric.

(C) fabric organization characteristics: (A) knitted fabric: because the coil is yarn bending in space, and each coil is composed of a yarn, when the knitted fabric by external tension, such as longitudinal stretch, the bending of the coil changes, and the height of the coil also increases, while the width of the coil is reduced, such as tension is transverse stretch, the situation is the opposite, the height and width of the coil in different tension conditions, obviously can be Interchangeable, so the extension of the knitted fabric is large. (B) woven fabric: because the warp and weft yarn interweaving place some bending, and only in the direction of perpendicular to the fabric plane bending, the degree of bending and the mutual tension between warp and weft yarn, as well as yarn stiffness, when the woven fabric by external tension, such as longitudinal stretch, the tension of the warp yarn increases, bending is reduced, while the weft yarn bending increases, such as longitudinal stretching non-stop, until the warp yarn is completely straightened, at the same time The fabric is transverse contraction. When the woven fabric is stretched by external tension in the transverse direction, the tension of the weft yarn increases and the bending decreases, while the bending of the warp yarn increases, such as stretching in the transverse direction until the weft yarn is completely straight, and the fabric shrinks in the longitudinal direction. And warp, weft yarn will not be converted, different from the knitted fabric.

(D) the characteristics of the fabric organization: (A) knitted fabrics: can be extended in all directions, good elasticity, because the knitted fabric is formed by the hole-like coil, have greater breathable performance, feel soft. (B) woven fabrics: woven fabrics by, weft yarn extension and contraction relationship is not large, and does not occur conversion, so the fabric is generally tight, stiff.

(E) the physical mechanical properties of the fabric organization: (A) knitted fabrics: the physical mechanical properties of the fabric, including longitudinal density, transverse density, square meter grammage, extension properties, elasticity, breaking strength, abrasion resistance, rolled edge, thickness, dispersion, shrinkage, coverage, bulk density. (B) Woven fabrics: physical and mechanical properties of woven fabrics, including yarn density of warp and weft yarns, cloth edge, front and reverse side, down and reverse hair direction, fabric coverage.

City textile production of functional fabrics to woven fabrics, including flame retardant fabrics, fluorescent fabrics also have knitted fabrics. City textile constantly improve their own products, more comprehensive protection of human safety.
