Parameters for Fabric Selection
3 In selecting a woven fabric for industrial applications a
number of design parameters must be considered. These
are broken down into five basic variables: Yarn Weight,
Yarn Thickness, Yarn Count, Weave Pattern, and Fabric
Finish.
Yarn weight and yarn count determine the majority of the
physical properties of the fabric. Yarn count is defined as
the number of warp yarn ends (lengthwise) and filling yarn
picks (widthwise) used per inch.
The weave pattern determines the stiffness or drapability
of the fabric. The pattern will also have an influence on
overall thickness. For composite applications there are
six basic patterns: Plain, Basket, Leno, Four Harness
Satin (Crowfoot), Eight Harness Satin, and Twill.
The fabric finish is the surface chemistry applied to the
fabric post weaving. Finishes are generally applied to
promote adhesion between the fabric and any resin
coatings. They may also serve to add stiffness, prevent
moisture uptake, and wear damage caused by handling.
Glass Yarn
Yarn determines the majority of the end fabric properties,
including the fabric weight, thickness, and strength.
The yarn properties are determined by the chemical
composition, the number of input filaments per yarn
strand, the number of yarn strands twisted or plied
together, and the overall denier (weight) of the final input
yarn.
Glass Formulations
Glass fibers are made from different formulations: “E” is
the most common all-purpose glass. Other types include
“S”, “T”, and “L”, among others. Astroquartz ® products
are the purest form of silica commercially available.

Filament/Yarn Nomenclature
An exact system for identifying fiberglass textile yarns is
required because of the wide variety of available types.
The nomenclature consists of two basic parts. The
alphabetical portion describes the composition and
construction. The numerical describes the weight and
number of yarns twisted and plied together.
As an example:
Glass

E=Electrical
S=High Strength
E
C

G

Single Strands
in Continuous
Filament Yarns

Strand
Count
Yardage/Lb
(in Hundreds)
1/2
Number of
Strands

The above describes the basic strand by composition,
type and diameter. The numbers identify strand weight
and construction. The above description would be for
ECG 150 1/2 yarn, or more simply G-150 1/2, used in
style 1581 fabric. The S-glass version for style 6581 fabric
would be SCG 150 1/2, where “S” denotes S-glass. The
non-twisted equivalent for 7781 would be ECDE 75 1/0.
4
The strand count is the first series of numbers following
the letters. It indicates approximate yardage per pound,
in hundreds. The number of yards in one pound of single
yarn strand can be found by multiplying the strand count
5 by 100.
The second series of numbers designates the number of
plies in continuous filament yarns. The first digit in the
second digit series indicates the number of single strands
twisted together. Untwisted single strands are commonly
referred to as “singles” yarn and are designated as 1/0.
The second digit in the second series, separated from the
first digit by a diagonal line, designates the number of
strands that are plied together. To find the total number of
strands in a yarn, multiply the two numbers (0 multiplied
as 1). A typical nomenclature for a continuous yarn:
ECG 150-1/2 Where:
E = E-glass
C = Continuous filament
G = Average filament diameter (see table, page 6)
150 = 15,000 Yd/Lb (Nominal) of basic “singles” strand
1/2 = One continuous filament yarn strand consisting of
two strands plied together (1X2)
The approximate yards per pound of fabricated yarn can
be found by dividing the strand count, multiplied by 100,
by the number of strands.
Therefore, ECG 150 1/2 contains:
150 x 100
= 7500 yds/lb for fabricated yarn
1x2
The results of this computation must always be
considered approximate, as yards per pound may be
reduced slightly in the twisting and plying operations.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR GLASS
FABRIC SELECTION
There are five basic design variables to consider when
choosing fabric for industrial use: thickness, aerial
weight, yarn size, construction, finish.
Thickness
Glass fabrics are available in thicknesses ranging
from ~0.001” to ~0.060”.
6
Weight
Fabric weights are typically measured in ounces per
square yard (osy) or grams per square meter (gsm). Glass
fabrics are available from about 0.50 osy up to about 52
7 osy (17 gsm to 1773 gsm.)
Construction
Construction refers to the fabric pattern, which is both the
number of warp yarns per inch (machine direction, ends)
and fill yarns per inch (cross-machine direction, picks),
and the pattern of interlacing used (plain, twill, satin, etc).
Yarn Size (denier or weight)
Fabric weight and thickness are determined by the input
yarn size (denier or weight).
Finish
The finish is the chemical composition of the surface of
final fabric. Organic coatings are applied (or removed) to
make the fabric more suitable for future resin coating and
end use performance requirements.
FABRIC CREATION
Yarn Preparation: Twisting/Plying
This process serves to control the yarn strength, diameter,
weight, and flexibility.
Filaments are twisted and or plied based on the end fabric
specification requirements.
Most glass fabrics are woven from singles yarns (1/0).
Some notable exceptions including styles 108, 120, and
1581.
Warping
Warping is the laying of the machine direction fibers in
parallel order. This creates the warp, or machine direction,
lof the fabric.
A specified number of yarns per inch are drawn from a
creel and wound on a warp beam. Several “section”
beams are then combined to provide the designated
number of yarns per inch required in the fabric
specification.
Slashing/Combining
The section beams from warping are combined during the
slashing process to create a warp beam (aka: loom beam).
This entire system of parallel threads is wound onto one
large beam to become the “warp”, or machine direction, of
the fabric.
An additional yarn binder is applied to the warp yarns
during the slashing process. The additional binder helps
to improve fabric surface quality by providing extra
protection to the warp yarns during the weaving process.
Entering
The entering operation draws the warp yarns into to the
loom, setting up the weave pattern, yarn spacing and
thread counts. The warp yarns are threaded through the
harnesses and reed. The entire warp beam-harness-reed
unit is then transferred to the loom to begin weaving.
Weaving
Weaving is the interlacing of filling (cross machine) yarns
through warp (machine direction) yarns in a
predetermined pattern, including yarn counts, yarn
spacings, over/under sequences and predetermined
intersecting angles.
Cleaning and Finishing
Dependent on the end fabric use, specialty chemical
finishes may be applied to the fabric surface. The loom
state (greige) fabric surface must first be cleaned. This is
accomplished via either heat exposure or chemical
washing. Most glass fabrics are ‘heat cleaned’, most
polymer based and specialty fabrics are chemically
scoured. The specialty finish is applied post cleaning.

Finishes most commonly act as coupling agents to
improve resin wet-out and bonding. Finishes may also be
applied to improve water and wear resistance, high
temperature performance..
JPS offers a wide range of existing finishes. We do
develop specialty and exclusive finishes based on
customer input. For more information please contact us.
Weave Patterns
The matching of yarn, weave pattern and finish for a
particular application is an exacting science. Because
glass, carbon, aramid and specialty fabrics are highly
engineered, the right combination of fabric weight,
thickness and construction is essential in selecting the
proper fabric. Selecting the right reinforcement fabric for
any requirement can be simplified by calling us. Our
specialized experience can aid in selecting a
reinforcement fabric suited to your requirements.
All standard of fabric weaves presented here can be
produced with fiberglass, aramid, Astroquartz ®, polymer,
specialty and carbon yarns.
The six most common fabric patterns are presented here.
Other fabric patterns are available on request; as well as
through development.
Plain Weave fabrics tend to be the most stable pattern,
followed by Leno, Basket Weave, 4H Satin, 8H Satin
fabrics.
In terms of drape or conformability, 8H Satin is the most
conformable, followed by the 4H Satin, Basket Weave,
Plain Weave and Leno fabrics.
10
Plain Weave
11
The plain weave consists of yarns interlaced in an
alternating pattern, one over and one under every other
yarn. The plain weave provides good fabric stability. It is
the primary fabric \used in the electronics and coating
industries.
Basket Weave
The basket weave is similar to the plain weave, except
that two or more filling yarns are alternately interlaced o
ver and under one another. The basket weave is more
pliable, flatter, and stronger than the plain weave, but is
not as stable as a plain weave.
Leno
12
The leno weave is used where relatively low aerial
weights are desired but specific thicknesses must be
maintained. The leno weave pattern locks the yarns in
place by crossing two or more warp threads over each
other and interlacing with one or more fill threads. Leno
weave patterns are common in EIFS applications and to
set bond line thicknesses for adhesives and tapes.
Four-Harness Satin (Crowfoot)
The four-harness satin relies on a three by one
interlacing, pattern. The fill yarn floats over three warp
yarns and under one. The four-harness satin weave is
more pliable than the plain weave and is easier to
conform to curved surfaces typical in reinforced plastics.
Eight-Harness Satin
13
The eight-harness satin is similar to the four-harness
satin except than one filling yarn floats over seven warp
yarns andunder one. This is a very pliable weave and is
used for forming curved surfaces.
2x2 Twill
The twill is used where tightly woven fabric with high
density is required. The twill weave is characterized by a
diagonal rib or twill line. The warp yarn floats over two
consecutive picks, permitting more yarns per unit area.

Astroquartz ® Applications and
Design Considerations
Astroquartz ® fabrics offer better solutions when high
strength, low dielectric loss and high heat resistance is
required.
The aerospace industry relies on Astroquartz ® fiber
productsmade from pure fused silica (99.99% SiO2 ) to
produce an outstanding, reproducible reinforcement
material.
There are five basic design variables to consider when
choosing Astroquartz ® fabrics:
Astroquartz ® Applications and Design
Considerations (cont.)
Thickness
Quartz and composite fabrics are available in thicknesses
ranging from 0.003” to 0.027” (0.13-0.69 mm).
Weight
The weight for Astroquartz ® fabrics range from 2.0 to
19.5 ounces per square inch (128 to 660 gsm).
Construction
Construction is the number of warp and fill yarns per inch
(machine and cross-machine direction) and the fabric
pattern. This helps determine the thickness, weight,
drapability, and overall performance of the fabric.
Yarn Size
39 Yarn size is a major factor in determining the weight and
thickness of the fabric. The yarn size, twist and ply counts
will also play a large role in determining the overall
strength of the woven fabric. For specific applications,
one yarn may be selected over another to the advantage
of the performance characteristics.
Finish
The Astroquartz ® fabrics can be coated with a
coupling agent, called the finish, to assist resin wet out
and to improve the strength of the fiber to resin interface.
This hasthe effect of improving the mechanical, thermal
and electrical performance characteristics of the final part.
Please contactJPS technical or customer service for
assistance in choosingthe correct fabric finish for your
application.

Astroquartz ® Yarn
Astroquartz ® yarn is made from extremely fine continuous
filaments of 99.99% pure fused silica, exclusive of binder,
capable of extended heat exposure to 2000ºF.
Astroquartz ® yarn has more than five times the yarn yield
of high silica leached yarn. This results in higher tensile
strength and abrasion resistance. With Astroquartz ® high
production efficiencies are possible in the production of
high temperature flexible insulation.
Astroquartz ® yarn is widely used in the form of braided
insulation for thermocouple wire, coaxial cables, space
separators, hoop wire, and heating elements

Advanced Materials Applications
Ballistics and Protection Products
JPS manufactures high performance fabrics for use in
ballistic resistant applications. High performance fabrics
are used extensively in bullet, fragment, and stab resistant
body armor for militaries, federal agencies, police, and
correctional departments. They are also used in the
manufacture of helmets for both military and civilian
agencies.
Aerospace and Recreational Composites
JPS high performance fabrics are used in a variety of
composite applications. Aramids and other high
performance fabrics are designed to maximize strength,
weight savings, durability, and cost. Applications include
aerospace, kayaks, recreational sporting goods, and
safety equipment, among others.
Advanced Fabrics Nomenclature
High performance fibers are typically designated by denier,
tex, or decitex (dtex). Each is described below.
Denier
The denier system is used internationally to measure the
size of textile filaments and yarns. Denier number
indicates the weight in grams of 9,000 meters of filament
or filament yarn. For example, if 9,000 meters weighs 100
grams, it is a 100-denier yarn. The smaller the denier
number, the finer the yarn.
Denier = dtex X 0.9
Tex and Decitex
The tex system is also applicable to the measurement of
filament yarns. It is based on the weight in grams of one
kilometer (3,300 feet) of yarn. Decitex (dtex) is defined as
ten times tex.
Tex = dtex/10
