Method of predicting yarn package size.

摘要

A method of predicting final yarn package diameter (D) during winding of yarn onto the package. The yarn is to be wound onto the package for a known period of time (TD) to obtain the final yarn package diameter. The method comprises the steps of: measuring the time (TS) for the package to grow to a known diameter (DS); predicting yarn package size using the correlation: D= square root [k1 + k2(TD/TS)] wherein k1 and k2 are empirically determined constants.
