The optical method measures the variations in diameter of a yarn and not in its mass. The instrument an infra-red transmitter and two identical receivers. The yarn passes at speed through one of the beams, blocking a portion of the light to the measuring receiver. The intensity of this beam is compared with that measured by the reference receiver and from the difference in intensities a measure of yarn diameter is obtained.

Speed Frame Production Calculation
Math 1: Calculate the TPI (twist per inch) produced on a simplex with diameter of front roller 28 mm and its rpm be 30. The rpm of flyer is 1000.
Twisting and Amounts of Twist for Different Materials – why is the amount of twist in a yarn important
The roving coming out of the front delivery roller is threaded through the top of the flyer, passes through its hollow leg around the presser arm on to the bobbin. The purpose of providing twist in roving is to give the strand sufficient strength to withstand the strain during unwinding in the creel of the ring frame. The insertion of twist is achieved by the rotation of the flyer.

Drawing, Texturing, Intermingling and Heat setting Process
Man Made Fibre and Man Made Fibre Production - Manufactured (MF) fibers (formerly termed “man-made”) are formed from a suitable raw material as a thick, sticky liquid, which is “spun” or extruded through spinneret holes, forming streams that are solidified into fibers.

Two proverbs of the experts- “Carding is the heart of spinning” and “well carded is half […]
Speed Frame and function of speed frame
The output from the draw frame is fed into the roving frame (also called ‘speed frame or simplex machine or flyer frame‘) where the linear density of sliver is reduced by drafting and the resultant product is called the roving. After the drafting operation, the roving is wound on the bobbin. During winding, a little amount of twist is imparted to the roving.
Effect of Twist on Yarn and Fabric Properties
The twist in yarns can be caused to affect the properties of the fabric in which the yarns are included.When yarns are incorporated in a fabric such that adjacent sets of yarn vary in the direction of twist, different effects like the shade effect, stripe effect etc. can be produced because of light reflecting from two sets of yarns.

Tensile properties of Textile Fibers
When an external force is applied to a fiber, it is balanced by the internal force development in the molecular structure of the fiber. By increasing the stresses, material will deform and follow the load-elongation/stress –strain curve.
