Fabric samples used throughout the present study were woven cotton 100%, polyester 100% and cotton/polyester 50/50%. The warp count: 30/2 for all fabric samples, the weft count is 9/1; 12/1; and 20/1. The weave of satin, basket, and twill is 3/1 with four different picks/cm to produce the fabrics with the same cover factor. For dust separation fabrics range in weight from ¡°300 - 450 g/m2¡± with an air permeability of ¡°100 - 300 l/d m2¡¤min¡± at ¡°196.2 Pa¡± (20 mm WG) as specified in DIN 53887. Air permeability through fabrics depends entirely on the sieving percent of the surface of the %K Dust Retention %K Permeability %K Fabric Structure %K Yarn %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=123274
