What is the average cost per yard of cotton fabric sold wholesale from a textile manufacturer to a garment manufacturer?

to calculate the price of the fabric depends on various factors. 1) quality wt of the fabric. 2) weaving cost ----depends on pick in the fabric 3) dyeing n finishing cost 4) packing cost 5) excise n transportation cost 6) profit 7) extra cost eg. a fabric having epi-84 ppi-42 rs-57" warp 30s cotton, weft-16S cotton then weight of the fabric is - 20.5kgs( warp wt=10.5kgs-weft wt=10kgs) lets assume the price of cotton 30S is 350rs/kg and 16s cotton is 200rs/kg then price of grey fabric is -(wt of warp x price of warp) / 100 + (wt of weft x price of weft)/100 =rs56.75 assuming 50paise per pick weaving cost then -42x0.50=21 rs total price =56.75+21=rs-77.75 the price calculated is grey price Rs-77.75 plz add other prices which will lead to some way around rs-100-120 for more info .. mail on regards ramesh rameshvp80@gmail.com

What is the difference between the different gauges of stainless steel sinks?

Ask any kitchen designer what goes into a spectacular kitchen design and they will tell you gorgeous cabinetry, eye-catching appliances and dramatic countertops. Often overlooked though, is one key aspect to a truly amazing kitchen design�the kitchen sink. Viewed by many as a utilitarian necessity, the kitchen sink is usually given very little consideration when designing a new kitchen. That's unfortunate because of all the appliances in the kitchen, the sink gets the most use and, in my opinion, is the most important appliance to consider.

When considering a sink there are several key features to explore including: design, functionality and quality. And of course there are many materials to choose from, but for this article I will focus on stainless steel quality and more specifically the thickness of metal used to build the stainless steel sink.

The thickness of the sheet metal used to fabricate a sink is called its gauge. The gauge of sheet metal for most sinks ranges from 22 -15 gauge. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the sheet metal is. High quality residential sinks range from 18-16 gauge while commercial quality sinks are offered in 15-16 gauge. When manufactures refer to the gauge of their product, they are referring to the thickness of the sheet metal before the manufacturing process begins.

Most stainless steel sinks are manufactured using a process called deep draw forming where a sheet of metal is drawn down into a form through a series of steps called reductions. Each reduction stretches the sheet metal deeper and deeper into the form, so what started out as an 18 gauge sheet of metal will not end up being 18 gauge throughout the entire finished product. The industry standard is to state the gauge of the metal that the manufacturing process started with. Since this is the standard practice, it makes it easy to compare one sink to another.

Not all sinks are made using deep draw forming, zero radius sinks are manufactured using a process called press brake forming where the sheet metal is bent into the main sink shape under tremendous pressure by a machine. The sides are then added and welded to the main assembly, forming a box shaped sink basin. Zero radius sinks are identifiable by their flat sides and unique 90 degree or near 90 degree corners. Since these sinks are bent into shape instead of drawn, they retain a more uniform thickness throughout the finished product.

Whether you decide to purchase a deep drawn sink or one manufactured through press brake forming, make sure to identify which gauge of steel the manufacture used during the forming process, it is one of the most crucial factors when considering a sink investment. Remember, the lower the gauge number the thicker the metal and as a general rule of thumb, an 18 gauge or lower sink is considered a high quality gauge. Give yourself enough time during your project to make an educated decision; it will be well worth the time investment.

When solid fiberglass is grinded with an angle grinder is the dust hazardous to my health and will it cause silicosis?

Grinding fiberglass will cause airborne particles, which can be extremely irritating to the airways. A respirator should always be worn when working with fiberglass. Fiberglass fibers and particles are generally too large to go all the way to the alveoli of the lungs to cause silicosis, but they can get in fairly deeply and become ensnared in the moisture respiratory tract, causing a bronchitis-like cough as the body produces mucous to rid itself of the fibers. The fibers will cause inflammation which can trigger asthma attacks or exacerbate pre-existing pulmonary problems. Silicosis is not likely, but if the particles are small enough to enter the alveoli, it can occur.

How are fish caught processed-canned frozen or manufactured into fish sticks?

Fish are either caught in bulk or grown in fish farms. Fish sticks and and their square cousins (found in McDonald's fish burgers) are produced on factory ships at sea or brought to processing plants.

The catch is sorted by hand. Desirable fish are segregated to be sold as "named " fish parts (e.g. sole fillets) Less desirable fish are reserved for further processing. Trash fish are dumped or combined with offal to become protein meal for animals.

Desirable fish are gutted and filleted either by machine or hand. The tasty parts are flash frozen and packaged.

In a similar plant some fish is put raw into cans. The cans are sealed and sent through a cooker. Sardines and smaller fish may be packed in oil. Anchovies are salted before canning.

The leftover bits that are not offal are combined with less desirable fish to be mechanically defleshed. The flesh particles are compressed into blocks and snap frozen (AKA flash frozen), then pass through a wire cutter which cuts them to the required size and shape, then they go through a crumbing machine and are boxed automatically.
