Abstract
Methods of producing a fibre web for needle-punching on a laboratory machine are described: a parallel-laid card web was suitable for most purposes, though a cross-laid web was less anisotropic. Methods of operation and testing are described; the effects of specimen shape and size on tensile-test results were studied. The effects of web weight and structure were investigated, and experimental results are given: heavier-weight fabrics show much greater consolidation on needling.Keywords
