Single Jersey How to Read It on a Lab Report
Laboratory reports present Single Jersey in a compact format. Knowing what each line means prevents misreading.
Definition reminder
basic weft knit with one set of needles. Working figures for Single Jersey normally sit around 140-220 GSM in mainstream production. Note circular single-bed machine on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Common report layout
The report states method circular single-bed machine, sample description, conditioning, and the measured result. Record elastane content alongside Single Jersey, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside 140-220 GSM usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
Typical result
Values near 140-220 GSM usually indicate a conforming lot, assuming the fabric matches the sample submitted. Keeping reference values for Single Jersey lets suppliers quote without extra sampling rounds. Ask for conditioning details together with circular single-bed machine, since both affect the reading.
Red flags
Missing revision numbers, unusual conditioning, and results without units all signal unreliable data. Working figures for Single Jersey normally sit around 140-220 GSM in mainstream production. Note circular single-bed machine on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Questions to ask
Ask the laboratory for the standard revision and sample description before accepting or rejecting a result. Record elastane content alongside Single Jersey, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside 140-220 GSM usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
