Prevent yarn defects with Uster Statistics

For most fabrics, a 50% USPTM level for CVm is likely to give an acceptable result, while in our example, the measured CVm value of 13.9 translates into a USPTM of 80% – explaining why the fabric obviously does not make the grade in terms of appearance.

USTER STATISTICS: interesting insights

The examples given here underline the real and practical advantages USTER STATISTICS bring to the textile industry. The basis for these benefits is a substantial and extensive project – running over five or six years – to prepare each edition of USTER STATISTICS.

It involves the thorough collection and testing of several thousand samples, carefully targeted to be representative of worldwide textile production capacities. The results are fed into unique data analysis software for interpretation and calculation of the percentile curves. Finally, the USTER STATISTICS are issued in the form of powerful interactive software, accessed via the internet or on CD.

USTER STATISTICS – a powerful and practical quality resource, freely available for all, helping the textile industry to deal with pilling and uneven fabric appearance – and much more besides.
