Weaving Tolerance
Unfinished flax cloth straight from the loom carries a greige fabric defect whenever yarn irregularities break the warp continuity during shuttle passage. Inspectors grade this raw material on the loom state inspection report before wet processing begins. Such an evaluation separates raw fibre anomalies from later chemical damage while establishing baseline penalties for the supplying mill.
Commercial clearance depends strictly on the buyer quality manual rather than internal mill preferences. Subsequent bleaching removes organic impurities, leaving structural anomalies visible to auditors examining export shipments.
Loom Fault
Air jet looms sometimes produce broken picks because tension spikes snap delicate flax filaments inside the shed. Technicians adjust pneumatic pressure valves whenever high speed running causes excessive warp breakage rates. Once a loom malfunctions, yarn displacement creates vertical streaks running the entire length of the output roll.
Workers record machine identifiers on daily production logs to trace faulty equipment back to specific shifts. Management reviews these logs weekly to determine whether mechanical wear requires immediate replacement of shuttle guides.
Export Valuation
Overseas merchants inspect raw linen rolls upon arrival to calculate financial adjustments for damaged yardage. Buyers reject shipments carrying structural flaws that exceed agreed density thresholds per square metre. Mill discounts compensate importing houses for extra labour required during manual patching operations.
Commercial settlement terms dictate whether substandard rolls return to the origin factory or sell locally at reduced prices. Final valuation rests entirely on physical examination findings recorded prior to dyeing.
