Theory and calculation of cover factor
Posted by butex on February 7, 2014
The figure shows projected views of two woven cloths of different construction. At A the warp
and the weft threads cover the area of the cloth only partially, but at B the cloth area is covered
completely with no spaces left between the adjacent warp yarns, and it will be seen that the
relative closeness of yarns in a woven cloth is dependent upon the ratio of yarn diameter, d, to
yarn spacing, p. This ratio known as relative cover, can be defined as the proportion of a
projected view of a given area of cloth which is covered by threads, and will have a scale from 0
to 1, although it may also be expressed as percentage cover with a scale from 0 to 100 per cent.
d/p = relative cover,
(d x 100)/p = percentage cover
It is preferable to express warp and weft relative cover separately, as the cumulative value of
cloth cover does not indicate the comparative importance of each set of yarns which is essential
for the determination of certain cloth characteristics.
From the relationship shown above it will be obvious that if d= p. the value of relative cover is
one, and this is regarded as the theoretical maximum cover. In practice, however, this value can
be exceeded considerably in any one direction, either through yarn distortion, or, by forcing the
threads into different planes, especially if the relative cover of the opposite set of threads is
reduced correspondingly.
The relative cover for one thread system can be calculated as follows by considering an area of
100 x 100mm:
Area per thread = 100 x d
Area covered by n threads of one system = n x 100 x d
Therefore, relative cover = (n x 100 x d)/(100 x 100) = (n x d)/100
Example: The cloth represented at A is specified as follows: Warp — 25 tex cotton, 267
ends/100 mm; weft—36 tex cotton, 334 picks/100 mm. Find the relative warp and weft cover.
(Subscript 1 refers to warp, subscript 2 to weft.)
Warp relative cover = (n1 x d1)/100
= (267 x (25)/(26.7))/100
= 0.50
Weft relative cover = (n2 x d2)/100
= (334 x (36)/(26.7))/100
= 0.75
