Abstract

In this paper, on the base of a geometrical model an attempt is made to derive an equation relates the air permeability to the plain knitted fabric parameters of fabric thickness, yarn diameter, wale and course spacings with knowing pressure drop. The air permeability measurements are carried out to demonstrate the accuracy of this equation. Experimental measurements made are shown to be in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.
