%X The bursting strength is an essential quality parameter of knit fabric.
The fabric structure, weight, types of fibers, and fiber blend proportion
influence the bursting streng<span>th parameter.
The tenacity of polyester fiber is better than cotton and spandex. The study
focused on predicting knit fabric bursting strength test value using different
fibers (cotton, polyester, and spandex) with varying percentages of the blend
ratio. This study used fifteen categories of blended fabrics. The Pearson
Correlation and the hypothetical ANOVA regression analysis were conducted to do
the statistical significance test. The experimental result reveals that the
bursting strength test result increased with the increased percentage of
polyester and suggested a suitable regression equation. The dominance of the
polyester fiber was observed throughout the experiment, <i>i.e.</i>, the higher the polyester blend proportion, the higher the
bursting strength value. </span>The inclusion of polyester in blends can reduce
the cost of fabric. The <span>developed prediction
model or equation can help the fabric manufacturer make</span> <span>appropriate decisions regarding getting the
expected bursting strength. The researcher</span> hopes that the findings from
this study will motivate new researchers, advanced researchers, and the textile
manufacturing industry.
