The Effect of Wool Quality and Packing on Flow and Level Dyeing in Hank‐dyeing Machines

Abstract
Liquor circulation has been measured in single‐stick and double‐stick hank‐dyeing machines under various loading conditions. This has shown the dependence of flow on the weight of yarn, and also on the quality of the wool and the count of the yarn. Measurements of dye‐liquor concentration in different areas of the load in this type of machine have shown marked variations in flow in these areas during the early stages of dyeing. An approximate theoretical treatment has related the probability of obtaining a level result with dyes of poor migration properties to the overall circulation rate and to the rate of dyeing of the dyes used.
