where 'a' and ' m' are the constants, depending on the
yarn count and the fibre mJteri al. These constants are
named as ' irregularity-length indices'.
The imperfections at different sensitivity levels
were also correlated with the yarn irregularity (U %)
for all the yarn samples. .
Table 1 shows that the values of irregularity-length
index ' m' are negative, indicating th at the irregularity
decreases with the increase in cut length . Further, the
values of ' m' are more or less the same for all the
yarns studied . The average value is found to be -0.25.
This indicates that the ' m' is almost independent of
type and count of yarn.
Table 1 also shows that the values of irregularitylength index 'a' range from 22.5 to 29.7. It is lower
for a yarn with lower irreg ul arity and higher for a
