Mesh Density
Flax harvesting in Heilongjiang province yields raw stalks that require precise mechanical separation before spinning mills receive the material. Cumberboard geometry defines the exact spatial arrangement of the harness cords and pulleys above a jacquard loom during this secondary stage of linen manufacturing. Traditional wooden boards drilled with specific hole patterns dictate how warp yarns lift during shedding.
Weavers adjust this physical layout to achieve exact thread counts per square centimetre in heavy damask fabrics.
Drafting Ratio
Spinning frames convert prepared linen roving into fine yarn by passing the material through sequential roller pairs operating at increasing speeds. Engineers calculate cumberboard geometry parameters to ensure the shed opens cleanly without abrading adjacent delicate flax filaments. Raw fibre batches vary in staple length from twenty to one hundred fifty millimetres depending on retting conditions and growing seasons.
Mill supervisors record these mechanical adjustments in daily production logs to maintain uniform twist angles throughout export lots.
Export Compliance
Finished linen goods undergo rigorous laboratory testing before buyers issue letters of credit for international shipping. Inspectors evaluate tensile strength and yarn regularity against agreed commercial tolerances rather than internal mill benchmarks. Incorrect loom settings during initial shedding produce structural defects that cause immediate rejection at the port of departure.
Final inspection certificates document compliance with specific density limits defined by the original technical specification sheet.
