Thick or thin end.
Missing or broken end.
Defective selvage.
Tears, cuts and holes.
Stains.
Reed Mark.
Snarl.
Gout.
Broken Pattern.
Thick or thin end
A warp thread that differs in diameter from
the surrounding normal ends.
Missing or broken end
The absence of a complete warp thread or part
of a warp thread.
Defective selvage
Selvagehaving warp yarn under high tension may cause
pucker or wavy surface resulting in defective selvage.
Besides, selvage may be thick and thin and may possess
broken ends, temple mark, etc.
Tears, cuts and holes
Hole is formed due to accidental cutting or
tear. Rough Mechanical parts of the looms can
cause this.
Stains
Itis caused by lubricants and rust and oil, which
is major problem in textile mills.
Reed Mark
Itis a pronounced mark caused due to damaged
or defective reed. This produces grouping of
warp ends in fabrics producing fine cracks.
Snarl
Itis a length of the weft yarn which has
spontaneously doubled back on itself due to
insufficient tension.
Gout
Itis the foreign matter usually lint or
accidentally waste into the fabric.
Broken Pattern
Itis the discontinuity of weave or
design pattern.
Broken pick
Thisdefect is due to discontinuity in the filling
direction caused by a break or cut in the filling yarn. It
causes sharp discontinuity in the weave pattern over
the part of the pick length.
Double end
When two or more fiber ends unintentionally get
woven as one, a double end type of defect is formed.
This defect is characterized by the thick bar running
parallel to the warp.
Float (Jala )
Itis formed due to improper interlacement of the warp
and weft yarn over certain area and is caused by an
entanglement of adjoining ends. This kind of fault is
most objectionable as the cloth has to be cut near this
defect.
Local Distortion
Itoccurs when there is displacement of warp and /or
weft threads from their normal position which occurs
due to variation in tension of both yarns .
Bad selvedge
The defect is characterized by the appearance of
curls and folds in the fabric selvedge which become
very prominent after wet processing
Slough of
This defect is due to a bunch of weft woven into the
fabric. The removal of slough off during grey mending
will form a hole in the fabric. The cause for this is
softly wound pirns , improper weft package
characteristics and poor humidity.
Stitches
Morespecifically it is a single thread float either warp
or weft way. A place in the fabric where warp and weft
yarns escape required interlacement.
Loose thread
Thisfault is due to any hanging thread on the face of
the fabric.
Coarse pick
Itis due to one or more picks of diameter larger than
the normal filling yarn in the fabric.
Barre
Anunintentional repetitive visual pattern of
continuous bars and stripes usually parallel to filling
of woven fabric or to the courses of circular knit
fabric results into this defect
Temple Marks
In
this defect the yarns are distorted from their true
paths and fine holes are caused near surfaces
Thick Place
Anunintentional change in the fabric appearance
characterized by a small area of more closely spaced
yarns or by congregation of thick yarns compared to
the adjacent construction results into this kind of
defect.
Thin place
When the pick density at any place in the fabric
decrease from the desired one a thin place is
produced in the fabric.
