Canvas is a thicker cotton or linen fabric. Named for the original use of sails. Generally, plain weave is used, a small amount of twill weave is used, and warp and weft yarns are multi-stranded. Canvas is usually divided into two categories: coarse canvas and fine canvas. The coarse canvas, also known as the tarpaulin, is commonly woven with No. 58 (10 lbs) 4 to 7 strands. The fabric is strong and resistant to folding and has good waterproof performance. It is used for covering cars and open warehouses and tents in the wild. Fine canvas warp and weft yarns are generally 2 strands 58 to 6 strands 28 (10 inches / 2 to 21 inches / 6), used to make labor protection clothing and supplies. It can also be used as a fabric for shoes, travel bags, backpacks, etc. after dyeing. In addition, there are rubber canvas, shield canvas for fire and radiation protection, and canvas for paper machine. This article focuses on the three basic concepts of canvas.
Canvas weight
Gram weight: refers to the weight in grams of a square meter of fabric. Woven canvas fabric with "ounces" "A" or "OZ"
Knitted canvas is generally used in grams weight (g/m2)
Its conversion is 1 ounce equal to 28.375 grams, but it is generally 28.35 grams on the cloth machine, which is related to the yarn count and the warp and weft density of the fabric. The thicker the yarn, the thicker the cloth and the greater the weight.
This has nothing to do with the density of the fabric, but the ounce is used on thicker fabrics. For example, denim canvas must be in ounces. In fact, you can also understand that the yarn is woven in thicker ounces. But now it is generally used in denim and canvas.
Canvas width
Width: refers to the latitudinal width of the canvas, which is commonly used in the world as "inch" or "", such as 47". It is commonly used in domestic "cm" or "cm", such as "120cm".
Inches and centimeters conversion formula: 1 inch = 2.54 cm
Canvas calculation width is commonly used in conversion form:
Inch cm general usage
36"91.4490cm
47"119.38120cm
63”160.02160cm
Canvas
In short, the yarn count refers to the thickness of the yarn. China's current general-purpose "English" type: one pound (454 grams) of heavy cotton yarn (or other component yarn), the length of 840 yards (0.9144 yards / meter) When the yarn has a fineness of one. If a pound of yarn, its length is 10 × 840 yards, its fineness is 10, the representation of the yarn count. The English symbol is the expression of the English letter "S" single yarn: 32 single yarn -- ----- is expressed as: 32S strands are represented by: 32 strands (two twists and turns) are: 32S/2, 42 sticks and not only: 42S/3
