Abstract
A state-of-the-art study was done about the use of
knitted reinforcement structures in composites. Based on
earlier experiences in VTT suitable sequences for
T-couplings were available. Glass yarn and glass roving
of fiber with diameters from 9 umlaut m to 13 umlaut m i
22-300tex were selected as raw material and a
programmable Stoll flat bed type was selected as trial
machine. Tests with knitted hose reinforcement showed
sufficient strength as water tube. Considerable problems
appeared in the programming of the knitting machine for
T-coupling reinforcement. In December 1995 Borealis
Industrier AB withdew from the project and no replacement
firm was found, the project was interrupted.
