What is ISO 9902‑6 about ?
ISO 9902‑6 is a series on textile machinery. Textile machinery ranges from knitting machines, Lace making machines to Textile finishing, weaving, and spinning machines & accessories, this equipment is necessary for the production of goods. ISO 9902‑6 covers several types of weaving and knitting machines. ISO 9902‑6 is applicable to full-width weaving machines with weft insertion by
- Shuttles
- Rigid, telescopic, or flexible rapiers
- Projectiles
- Hydraulic (waterjet) or by pneumatic (air jet) nozzle
Narrow fabric weaving machines with weft insertion by shuttles or needles jacquard machines knitting machinery including
- Circular knitting
- Flatbed knitting
- Warp knitting
- Raschel
- Cotton (flat weft weaving)
Other fabric manufacturing machines e.g.
- Multi-phase weaving machines
- Circular weaving machines
- Stitch bonding machines
Who is ISO 9902‑6 for ?
ISO 9902‑6 on textile machinery is useful for:
- Textile machinery manufacturer
- Textile industry
- Quality control personnel
- Research and development facilities
Why should you use ISO 9902‑6 ?
Textile machines are used in the fabrication and processing of fabrics, textiles, and other woven and non-woven materials. They are used in processes such as spinning, weaving, warping, and dyeing. ISO 9902‑6 covers several types of weaving and knitting machines.
For a machine-like textile, the machine makes noise to it is the manufacturer who must check whether the machine is working or not or it is releasing too sound because it may be noisy for people who work on it. So, determining the noise released by the machine can help the users to control the noise and make it a noise-free machine for the end-users. It helps them to increase their supply of the machines and to increase their profit levels and goodwill. Using ISO 9902‑6 you understand the test to determine noise code.
