Comprehensive Textile and Manufacturing Terminology

Fiber Classifications and Material Science

The industrial classification of fibers is fundamental to textile production, beginning with the distinction between Serat ($\text{繊維}$ - Sen-i) and its primary subcategories. Fibers are broadly categorized into Serat alam ($\text{天然繊維}$ - Tennen sen-i) and Serat kimia ($\text{化学繊維}$ - Kagaku sen-i). Within the realm of natural fibers, we distinguish between those of plant origin, known as Serat tumbuhan ($\text{植物繊維}$ - Shokubutsu sen-i), and those of animal origin. Examples include Kapas or katun ($\text{木綿}$ - Momen), Wol ($\text{羊毛}$ - Youmou), Sutera ($\text{絹}$ - Kinu), and various forms of bast fibers such as Rami or linen ($\text{麻}$ - Asa) and specifically Ramie ($\text{ラミー}$ - Ramii).

Chemical and synthetic categories include Serat sintetis ($\text{合成繊維}$ - Gousei sen-i) and Serat regenerasi ($\text{再生繊維}$ - Saisei sen-i). Common synthetic materials include Polyester ($\text{ポリエステル}$ - Poriesuteru), Nylon ($\text{ナイロン}$ - Nairon), Akrilik ($\text{アクリル}$ - Akuriru), and Spandex or elastane ($\text{スパンデックス}$ - Supandekkusu). Regenerated or semi-synthetic options include Rayon ($\text{レーヨン}$ - Ree-yon) and Asetat ($\text{アセテート}$ - Aseteeto). In production, manufacturers often employ Blending or campuran serat ($\text{混紡}$ - Konbou) to combine properties. The resulting yarns are classified as Benang filamen ($\text{フィラメント糸}$ - Firamento-shi) or Benang pintal, also known as spun yarn ($\text{紡績糸}$ - Bousekishi).

Knitting Structures and Fabric Properties

Rajutan ($\text{編み}$ - Ami) refers to the process and structure of interlocking loops. Various knitting patterns define the fabric's characteristics. The most basic is Rajutan jersey or plain knit ($\text{天竺編み}$ - Tenjiku ami). For elasticity, Rajutan rib ($\text{ゴム編み}$ - Gomu ami) or Rajutan frais ($\text{フライス編み}$ - Furaisu ami) is used. Other specialized structures include Rajutan purl ($\text{パール編み}$ - Paaru ami), Rajutan piqué or lacoste ($\text{鹿の子編み}$ - Kanoko ami), and Rajutan interlock ($\text{インターロック編み}$ - Intaarokku ami). Technical stitches used to create these patterns include the Tuck stitch ($\text{タック}$ - Takku) and the Float or miss stitch ($\text{フロート}$ - Furooto).

The geometric orientation of a knit consists of the Wale or arah kolom ($\text{ウエール}$ - Ueeru) and the Course or arah baris ($\text{コース}$ - Koosu). Quality is measured through Stitch density ($\text{度目}$ - Domoku), Stitch length ($\text{編み込み長}$ - Amikomi chou), and Gauge ($\text{ゲージ}$ - Geeji), which counts the number of needles per inch. Fabric weight is quantified as Berat kain ($\text{目付}$ - Metsuke) in units of $\text{g/m}^2$. Fabric defects or behaviors include Skewing ($\text{斜行}$ - Shakou), Curling ($\text{カーリング}$ - Kaaringu), and Pilling ($\text{ピリング}$ - Piringu). Furthermore, industrial processes differentiate between Cut and sew ($\text{カットソー}$ - Kattosoo) and Double knit or rajut ganda ($\text{ダブルニット}$ - Daburunitto).

Knitting Machines and Mechanical Components

Industrial knitting utilizes the Mesin rajut bundar ($\text{丸編み機}$ - Maru amiki), which features several critical mechanical parts. The core components include the Silinder ($\text{シリンダ}$ - Shirinda), the Dial ($\text{ダイヤル}$ - Daiyaru), and the Jarum ($\text{針}$ - Hari). Specifically, the Jarum latch ($\text{ラッチ針}$ - Racchi bari) consists of a Lidah jarum ($\text{ベラ}$ - Bera) and a Hook or kait jarum ($\text{フック}$ - Fukku). Other essential parts include the Sinker ($\text{シンカ}$ - Shinka), Cam ($\text{カム}$ - Kamu), and Yarn feeder ($\text{給糸口}$ - Kyuushikou). The machine is managed by a Perangkat tegangan ($\text{テンション装置}$ - Tenshon souchi) and performs Seleksi jarum ($\text{選針}$ - Senshin).

Regarding yarn specifications, the thickness is defined by the Nomor benang or count ($\text{番手}$ - Bante), and units such as Denier ($\text{デニール}$ - Deniiru) or Desitex ($\text{デシテックス}$ - Deshitekkusu), abbreviated as $\text{dtex}$. The twist applied to yarn is called Puntiran ($\text{より}$ - Yori), which can be categorized as Puntiran S ($\text{S撚り}$ - S-yori) or Puntiran Z ($\text{Z撚り}$ - Z-yori). Processing may involve Plying or penggabungan benang ($\text{合糸}$ - Goushi) and requires Minyak pelumas ($\text{潤滑油}$ - Junkatsuyu) for machine maintenance.

Evaluations include Color change ($\text{変退色}$ - Hentai shoku) and Staining ($\text{汚染}$ - Osen), utilizing the Blue scale ($\text{ブルースケール}$) and Grey scale ($\text{グレースケール}$). Color properties are defined by Hue ($\text{色相}$ - Shikisou), Lightness ($\text{明度}$ - Meido), and Saturation ($\text{彩度}$ - Saido). Warna akromatik ($\text{無彩色}$ - Musaishoku) and Metamerisme ($\text{メタメリズム}$ - Metamerizumu) are also analyzed.

Testing conditions involve specific Sumber cahaya ($\text{光源}$ - Kougen), such as light from a Jendela utara ($\text{北窓}$ - Kitamado). Chemical testing involves measuring $\text{pH}$ and identifying Neutral ($\text{中性}$ - Chuusei) states. Processes include creating a Larutan ($\text{溶液}$ - Youeki) through Pelarutan ($\text{溶解}$ - Youkai), and monitoring for Hidrolisis ($\text{加水分解}$ - Kasuibunkai).

Functional quality is judged by Daya serap kelembapan ($\text{吸湿性}$ - Kyuushitsusei) and Sirkulasi udara ($\text{通気性}$ - Tsuukisei).

Occupational Health, Safety, and Quality Management

Workplace safety involves distinguishing between Keselamatan ($\text{安全}$ - Anzen) and Bahaya ($\text{危険}$ - Kiken). Employees must use APD or alat pelindung diri ($\text{保護具}$ - Hogogu), including the Masker pelindung ($\text{防護マスク}$), Sarung tangan karet ($\text{ゴム手袋}$), and Kacamata pelindung ($\text{保護眼鏡}$). Electrical safety is managed via Grounding ($\text{アース}$ - Aasu), Sekering ($\text{ヒューズ}$ - Hyuuzu), and awareness of Sengatan listrik ($\text{感電}$) or Kebocoran arus listrik ($\text{漏電}$).

Facilities maintenance requires a Katup pengaman ($\text{安全弁}$ - Anzenben), Ventilation ($\text{換気}$ - Kanki), and Heat exchanger ($\text{熱交換器}$ - Netsu koukanki).
