Abstract

The effect of pile height, construction of primary backing fabric and pile density on compression behaviour (initial thickness, compression and compression recovery) and tuft withdrawal force of hand tufted carpets has been studied. The significance of the regression model and each parameter was checked with F-test and its related p-value. Pile height is found statistically significant for initial thickness and compression properties of hand tufted carpets. Interaction terms of pile height × primary backing fabric and pile height × pile density are found statistically significant for tuft withdrawal force characteristic of hand tufted carpet. Quadratic term of knot density is found statistically significant for all properties of hand tufted carpets whereas primary backing fabric is found statistically significant only for initial thickness property.
