Question

Selection of Reed and its count in weaving is related to

• A. Total Number of Ends
• B. % air Space of Reed
• C. RH of Weaving Shed
• D. Speed of Loom

Hint:

Reed selection depends on total warp ends required and fabric construction (EPI/width).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Reed selection in weaving is directly related to the fabric construction and number of warp ends required per unit width. The reed count determines how many dents are available per unit width to accommodate warp ends.

Step 1: Understand reed function.
Reed controls: \[ \text{Ends per inch (EPI)} \]

Step 2: Relate to total ends.
Total number of warp ends depends on fabric width and reed count. \[ \text{Reed selection} \Rightarrow \text{Ends arrangement} \]

Step 3: Evaluate options.
Only total number of ends directly influences reed selection.

Step 4: Final answer selection.
\[ \boxed{\text{Total Number of Ends}} \] Thus, \[ \boxed{\text{Option (A) is correct.}} \]
