There is nothing worse than trying to handle a yarn or thread that snarls and kinks up on you while trying to process it.  I have always been a believer in quantifying conditions and therefore developed a method for measuring the amount of torque remaining in a yarn or thread, with the resulting units of measure being referred to as Twist Balance (TB).

One of our partners, a small-gauge hose manufacturing plant that runs around the clock, wanted to produce more product in less time. But their solution, to run machines 22% faster, caused our yarn cones to break and blow out. I visited the plant, where I used quantitative measures to determine what parameters may be optimum for even higher angular speeds and therefore greater out-puts.

How many reasons can you think of to apply lubrication to thread?
