Cutting Gauge in Seamless Setting It Correctly on a Tech Pack
Cutting Gauge in Seamless should be written into the tech pack with a value, a tolerance and a method. This removes ambiguity from quotations.
Definition to agree
stitch density of tubular seamless machines. Working figures for Cutting Gauge in Seamless normally sit around gauge 14 to 22 in mainstream production. Note machine specification on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Target value
Open the specification at gauge 14 to 22, adjusted to the end use. Record elastane content alongside Cutting Gauge in Seamless, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside gauge 14 to 22 usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
Method line
Always pair the target with machine specification so the mill and the laboratory test the same way. Keeping reference values for Cutting Gauge in Seamless lets suppliers quote without extra sampling rounds. Ask for conditioning details together with machine specification, since both affect the reading.
Tolerance line
State plus or minus limits to keep production realistic while protecting the requirement. Working figures for Cutting Gauge in Seamless normally sit around gauge 14 to 22 in mainstream production. Note machine specification on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Approval step
Approve the result on pre-production bulk rather than on development fabric only. Record elastane content alongside Cutting Gauge in Seamless, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside gauge 14 to 22 usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
