Yes. The higher percentage of cotton in the blend, the more it will shrink. The higher percentage of spandex in the blend, the more likely the garment will be damaged in the high heat of the dryer.

What does a Welding Inspector do?

A welding inspector spends lots of money getting exam qualifications and then re-sitting the same exams every five years for the privilege of sitting on his a--e at home most of the year waiting on the phone to ring ^^^^ The above was most likely written by an out of work welder (waiting at home for a council call) that became unemployed due to the problems that were encountered by crossing paths with a welding inspector that performed their duties with due diligence in regards to reviewing welder certifications (probably out of date for the above, if any), welding procedures (if any), approved fabrication drawings (probably hand drawn on a beer napkin), appropriate electrodes and welding equipment (chromed dental floss and a hair dryer from Tesco will not be acceptable), proper materials and fit up (scrap iron and rough guesses on dimensions most likely), industry and welding code approved welding practices (unlike the slop normally put in at their own manse and manor), failure to pass visual and non-destructive testing (Seeing through the weld in 3 spots is NOT acceptable in any code, thank you) and a myriad of other failures by the above poster that were easily spotted by the welding inspector. try this instead: http://www.weldmyworld.com/blog/2011/11/what-does-a-certified-welding-inspector-actually-do.html


What are the Paper production process steps?

I had to do a research project on this and found it extremely difficult. There are different ways of making paper here is what i did.Step 1: Getting the trees from the forestStep 2: Debarking, Chipping and/or Recycling Logs are passed through a debarker, where the bark is removed, and through chippers, where spinning blades cut the wood into 1" pieces. Those wood chips are then pressure-cooked with a mixture of water and chemicals in a digester.Step 3: Pulp Preparation The pulp is washed, refined, cleaned and sometimes bleached, then turned to slush in the beater. Colour dyes, coatings and other additives are mixed in, and the pulp slush is pumped onto a moving wire screen.Step 4: Paper FormationAs the pulp travels down the screen, water is drained away and recycled. The resulting crude paper sheet, or web, is squeezed between large rollers to remove most of the remaining water and ensure smoothness and uniform thickness. The semi-dry web is then run through heated dryer rollers to remove the remaining water.Step 5: Paper FinishingThe finished paper is then wound into large rolls, which can be 30 feet wide and weigh close to 25 tons. A slitter cuts the paper into smaller, more manageable rolls, and the paper is ready for use.Mechanical PulpStep by Step Process1) Logs are immersed in water2) The logs then have their barks removed.3) The wood is then ground down to from a pulp4) Pieces of 1-2mm carry on to be produced, anything larger goes through the process again.5) The pulp is then bleached.Chemical PulpAlso a way of producing paper and board, the less efficient of the two as many chemicals are used to break down the lignin in the wood fibres. This method is used for materials that need to be stronger. The machine used is called a digester a large container where all the breaking down of the fibres happens. It enters the top of the digester and comes out the bottom of the digester after 6 hours as pulp.Step by step process.1) Logs (hardwood & softwood) have their barks removed.2) Logs are cut into 20mm chips (along the grain)3) Chips are pounded into fragments (and screened)4) Pulp is treated with acid or alkaline (bleach)5) All of this is done in the digester6) Lignin is dissolved away7) Fibres are filtered out then washed.Waste PulpThe recycling of paper.Step by step process.1) Recycled paper is ground down into a pulp2) All the metal bits are filtered out.3) The ink is removed.4) Waste pulp can be mixed with virgin fibres (i.e. from MP/CP processes) this improves quality5) Processed with bonding agents/pigments/bleach6) A sizing agent may be added to improve water resistance/prevent ink from bleeding.A:The wood is turned into pulp, which is then treated with chemicals that effectively break up all the cellulose, leaving only the fiber strings. The fiber is then used to make paper pulp. Colors and other additives are added as needed, and the paper is created.

Cotton dries in both, washing machine and dryer. You can expect new cotton clothing to shrink by up to 10%. The reason for shrinking is the temperature: the higher, the more your clothing will shrink.


Why does cotton shrink in the dryer?

Cotton fibers contain tension from being stretched during the manufacturing process. Heat from the dryer can cause the fibers to release this tension, leading to shrinkage. Additionally, the interlocking of the fibers can cause them to contract when exposed to high temperatures.

Yes, 100% combed cotton can shrink in the dryer, especially if exposed to high heat. To minimize shrinkage, you can try using a lower heat setting or air-drying the garment instead.

What does a wool sock and a cotton shirt against each other in a dryer?

When a wool sock and a cotton shirt are dried together in a dryer, the wool sock may shrink due to its natural properties, while the cotton shirt is less likely to shrink. The differential shrinkage is due to the differences in fiber composition and structure between wool and cotton materials.


Does ringspun cotton shrink?

Yes, all cotton shrinks but ring spun doesn't as much as 100% cotton. If you don't want it to shrink then when you get it out of the washer DON'T put it in the dryer and let it air dry. IMPORTANT: This only makes it shrink less, it still will shrink some. I always order one size bigger if its cotton and let it shrink to my size. Hope this answered your question. God Bless!
