    Machine pitch is the distance between the center lines of two adjacent needles and typically ranges from 16.93mm to 0.58mm. Machine gauge is the number of needles per inch of the cylinder and ranges from 1.5 to 44. Feeder density is the number of feeders per inch of diameter and typically ranges from 0.4 to 4.8. Knitting speed, measured in meters per second, usually lies between 0.8 and 1.8 m/sec. Speed factor indicates the theoretical maximum number of courses per minute and is calculated as the number of feeders multiplied by the RPM.

    CALCULATIONS Machine Pitch

    It is a distance between the center lines of two adjacent needles in the same needle bed/set. For circular knitting machines the pitch lie between 16.93mm and 0.58mm.

    Calculation Pitch t(mm) = 25.4 mm gg Or Dia (inch) x 3.14 x 25.4 # of Needles in Cylinder

    CALCULATIONS Machine Guage (E) / Cut


    It is the number of needles per one inch of the nominal cylinder. It lies between 1.5 and 44 E.

    Calculation Guage E = 25.4 mm Pitch t(mm) Or # of Needles in Cylinder Dia (inch) x 3.14

    CALCULATIONS Feeder Density (D)


    It is defined as the number of feeders per inch diameter. The number of feeders is mostly an even number due to design limitations. Generally the feeder density lie between 0.4 and 4.8 feeders per inch. Generally 3 is consider best for jersey / Tuck fabrics.

    Calculation D = # of Feeders Dia

    CALCULATIONS
    Knitting Speed (V) & Machine RPM
    It is a peripheral speed and measured in meters per second. Generally it lies in a range between 0.8 and 1.8 m/sec.

    Calculation V(m/sec) = Dia* * 2.54* rpm


    Or
    100*60 Dia*rpm*0.00133

    CALCULATIONS
    Speed Factor (SF) or Performance #
    With the help of this circular machines with different feeders and speeds can be compared with one another in terms of productivity. It actually indicates theoretical maximum # of courses per minute (Courses/min)

    Calculation
    SF (Courses/min) = # of feeders*rpm

    CALCULATIONS Courses & Wales


    These are measured physically with the help of Eye Glass (Counter). It can be measured in inches or cm (CPI & WPI) or CPC & WPC)
    Courses Per inch or Courses Per Centimeters Wales Per inch or Wales Per Centimeter

    CALCULATIONS
    Fabric Weight (GSM)
    It is measured in grams per square meter (GSM) but it can also be expressed as ounces per square yard (ozs/yd2).

    Calculation Weight (GSM)

    = S*S.L*T 100 S = Stitch Density (cpc*wpc) T = Tex of yarn (590.54/count) S.L = Stitch Length in mm. Ounces to GSM = ozs/yd2*33.906

    CALCULATIONS Roll Weight (Kgs)


    It is measured in kgs (GSM) but it can also be expressed as ounces per square yard (ozs/yd2).

    Calculation Roll Weight (kgs) =


    tex*CL (cm)*Feeders*Total Rounds*108

    CALCULATIONS
    Fabric Width
    It is measured physically and can be calculated as under:

    Calculation Width (cm) = # of Needles Wales/cm Or Dia * * E Wales/cm


    For Tubular divide the above with 2

    CALCULATIONS Tightness Factor


    It is ratio between the yarn diameter and its loop length in the structure. It indicates Tightness or Looseness of the fabric. Its values ranges between 1.29 and 1.64; the average 1.46. Higher values means Tighter the Fabric is

    Calculation
    TF Tex L L = Stitch length in mm =
