ABSTRACT

Mechanical properties of fi bres and yarns also depend on the surrounding temperature conditions to which these are exposed during the textile process. Apart from the dust levels, the stickiness in some of the cottons also demands controlled weather. When cotton is sticky, higher humidity creates sticking of fi bres to rollers and other parts of the machine. The general reasons for controlling temperature and humidity in a textile mill are as follows:

• Dry air causes lower regain contributing to poor quality and lower productivity.
