Man-made Fibres, Cotton and their Products Sectional Committee, TXD 31

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Man-made Fibres, Cotton and their Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Textiles
Division Council.
Polyester partially oriented yarn (POY) is a synthetic polymer in continuous filament form that has a low degree of
molecular orientation present in filaments, but further substantial molecular orientation is possible. POY is further
drawn in subsequent processing in order to orient fully the molecular structure and optimize tensile properties.
This standard was first published in 2019 and has been revised to incorporate following changes:
a) Requirement and test method for identification of material has been incorporated;
b) All amendments have been incorporated;
c) Table for constructional and physical requirements of polyester partially oriented yarn (POY) has been
modified;
d) Table for chemical requirements of polyester partially oriented yarn (POY) has been modified;
e) Marking and packing clause has been modified; and
f) References to Indian Standards have been updated.
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex H.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with the final value,
observed or calculated expressing the result of a test or analysis shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2 : 2022 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( second revision )’. The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

5 DESIGNATION AND DESCRIPTION OF

PARTIALLY ORIENTED YARN

5.1 Designation of Yarn

A recommended standard notation for yarn designation
as per the industry practices based on yarn construction
is specified in Table 1. The notation reflects in a
condensed form the details of components of a yarn,
including values of the linear densities, direction
of twist, twist level, number of folds, etc. of these
components and/or characteristics such as linear
density resulting from this construction. Two methods
Fig. 10 Matrix for the notation of yarns have been specified. The
‘single to fold’ notation starts from the linear density of
the single yarn; the ‘fold to single’ notation starts from
the linear density of the resultant yarn. The symbols
used in both systems are identical; the differences are in
the order of presentation, the use of the multiplication
sign (x) in the single to fold notation, and of the solidus
(/) in the fold to single notation. Distinction between
the two methods does not apply to monofilament and
multifilament yarns without twist, nor to multiple
wound yarns. The following symbols are used:
R = symbol for resultant linear density, to be put before
its numerical value;
f = symbol for filaments, to be put before the number
of filaments; and
Fig. 11 Sheath-Core t0 = symbol for zero twist; other twist values are
NOTE — In matrix fibre, POY cross section will look like represented by the number of turns per metre of the
normal round partitions like pie. The cross-sections shown in twisted yarn, preceded by S or Z to indicate twist

direction.
4.4 Based on Lustre
If the S/Z notation cannot be used, for example in
4.4.1 Full Dull (FD) numerical fields of data banks, ‘S’ should be designated
