Pre-wetting in Textile Sizing

Play an AI-generated podcast conversation about this lesson

What is the primary purpose of applying high squeezing pressure in the size box?

To ensure adequate pre-wetting and avoid dilution of size liquor (correct)
To reduce the hairiness of yarn
To improve the adhesion of the yarn to the warp beam
To increase the size add-on to the yarn

What is the benefit of using pre-wetting in the size box?

It improves the surface adhesion of the size to the yarn and reduces the size add-on by 30-50% (correct)
It has no effect on yarn strength and size add-on
It reduces the size add-on to the yarn by 10-20%
It increases the yarn strength by 50-60%

What is the function of the immersion roller in the size box?

To control the amount of sizing material applied to the yarn
To squeeze off excess size solution
To measure the yarn strength
To dip the yarn sheets into the size liquor (correct)
