Abstract

 This investigation includes conclusion, solving and graphical representation of the mathematical relations between the relative increase of thread diameter caused by swelling due to wet finishing processes and relative changes in fabric shrinkage, thread density, crimp, fabric weight/unit area, weight/unit volume and total cover factor for balanced fabrics under different values of intial cover factor and thread average float ratio. The results indicated that only by using computers these equations were possible to be solved giving the opportunity to expect the effect of fabric structure and thread density on shrinkage behavior and corosspondant fabric dimentional changes and giving the chance to choose the suitable Fabric constructure and to fill the gap between theory and practice.
