Abstract
The effect of the technological parameters on filament breakage is discussed and the causes of fracture are considered. Optimum knitting conditions for glass fibre yarns are established. The variables on which the investigation is based are the stitch quality cam position and the take-down force. Two types of glass fibre yarns are used. The results indicate that the fabric quality is improved by an increase in stitch length. The knitting of glass fibre yarns presents difficulties and the damage caused reduces fabric mechanical strength. Filament breakage can be reduced and the mechanical characteristics can be improved by correctly choosing the glass yarn count in relation to the machine gauge. The fabrics are used in the production of fibre-reinforced composites.
