Cotton and Cotton Products Sectional Committee, TX 02
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Fourth Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of lndian Standards, after the
draft finalized by the Cotton and Cotton Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Textile Division Council.
This standard first published in 1951 was subsequently revised in 1964, 1973 and 1985. This
standard has again been revised to upgrade the requirements for ring SPUYgrey cotton yarn
intended for use in weaving. While preparing this standard, the joint technological norms for-
mulated by the four textile research associations viz ATIRA, BTRA, ‘NITRA and SITRA were
taken into consideration.
In this revised version, the requirements of unevenness, imperfections and single yarn tenacity
have also been specified. Opportunity has also been taken to give information on yarn faults
based on ‘Classimat System’.
This standard covers the requirements for cotton yarns intended for use in powerlooms. The
requirements for cotton yarn for use in handlooms have been specified separately in this
standard.
This standard does not cover cotton yarn intended for use in high speed automatic/shuttleless
looms and yarn meant for export. Also this standard does not cover the requirements for cotton
yarns blended with regenerated cellulosic fibre.
Following are the other standards available on yarn:

Specification
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with,
the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis. shall be rounded
off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )‘. I’he
number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the
specified value in this standard.
