Warp Weight and Weft Weight Calculation Method Followed in Textile Weaving Industry: 

In case of weaving process, warp and weft yarn weight calculation is too much important. This article has presented an easy method of warp yarn weight calculation. In another article I will try to present the other method of weft yarn weight calculation which will be very effective in your textile job profession.

Warp Yarn Weight Calculation Method in Textile Weaving: 

The below formula have to follow to calculate warp weight in textile weaving industry. 

Weight of warp yarn in pounds, 

     Length of warp in yds ×Number of ends 

= ……………………………………………………...

                        840× Count 

The below examples will clear your all the confusions related with warp weight calculation. 

Problem-01: 

Calculate the weight of warp on a set of back beams which contains 2940 ends. The length of warp on each beam being 16000 yds and count of 50s. 

Solution: 

Here, 

Length of warp in yds= 16000, 

Total number of ends= 2940, 

Yarn count= 50s, 

Weight of warp yarn in pounds=? 

Now, 

Weight of warp yarn in pounds, 

    Length of warp in yds ×Number of ends 

= ……………………………………………………

                      840× Count 

     16000×2940 

= ……………………

        840×50 

= 1120 pounds. 

So, warp yarn weight for this calculation stands at 1120 pounds.

Problem-02: 

A super speed beam warpers with a warping speed of 880 yds per minute is preparing a standard warp of 525 ends. If the yarn count is 30s and efficiency is 84% then calculate the weight of warp yarn. 

Solution: 

Here, 

No. of ends=525, 

Calculated production=880yds, 

Yarn count=30s, 

Efficiency=84%=0.84, 

Warp yarn weight=? 

So, 

Total weight of warp yarn in pound, 

     Total length of warp in yds ×No. of ends 

= ………………………………………………          … (1) 

                   840× Yarn count 

Again, 

Total length of warp in yds per hour,

= Calculated production×efficieny×60

=880×0.84×60

=44352 yds 

Now,
From equation (1), we get, 

Total weight of warp yarn in pound, 

    44352×525 

= ……………………

     840×30 

= 924 pounds 

So, weight of warp yarn for this calculation is 924 pounds.
