The features of canvas

classification

Canvas, also known as awning cloth, is usually made of 58 (10 inch) 4-7 strands of thread. The fabric is firm and folding resistant, and has good waterproof performance. It is used for automobile transportation, outdoor warehouse covering and outdoor tent building.

Fine canvas warp and weft yarns are generally 2-Ply 58-6-ply 28 (10 / 2-21 / 6), which are used to make labor protection clothing and articles. After dyeing, it can also be used as shoes, travel bags, backpacks, and other fabrics.

In short, yarn count refers to the thickness of the yarn. The “British system” is still used in China, that is, a pound (454g) of cotton yarn (or other component yarn) with a length of 840 yards (0.9144 yards / meter) and a single yarn. If a pound of yarn has a length of 10 × 840 yards, and its fineness is 10 pieces, the expression of yarn count is the English symbol of the letter “s”. The expression of single yarn is: 32 pieces of single yarn —– the expression of 32S stranded yarn is: 32 pieces of stranded yarn (double lay and lay) is: 32S / 2, 42 pieces of 3 pieces of twisted yarn are: 42s / 3.

density

The unit of calculation for the fabric density of canvas is metric system, which refers to the number of warp and weft yarns arranged within one square inch. The density directly affects the physical and mechanical indexes of the fabric, such as the appearance, hand feel, thickness, strength, folding resistance, air permeability, wear resistance and warmth retention. At the same time, it also affects the product cost and production efficiency.
