• A. Constantly observe carpet on inspection table for any defects including tufting, yarn, backing defects.
  1. Yarn defects a) Yarn problems usually appear in the form of a single end streak. b) These types of problems create either straight or shifted streaks depending on the tuft pattern. c) If a yarn problem is found, one roll(s) will be held for review if the defect is 75 feet or more. If the defect is less than 75 feet, the carpet will be downgraded according to the grading system and a representative cut made for yarn technical evaluation. This cut should be 9”x9”. d) At this point, perform the streak evaluation (scale 1-10). (1) 1-4 represents the worst possible case (heavy streaking) (2) 5 represents marginal goods (3) 6-10 represents grade“A” - some light streaking, but still first quality e) Carpet rated 5 or higher is acceptable for shipment, assuming there are no other defects. f) Any carpet rated lower than 5 will be as follows: (1) More than 75 feet- hold roll for review (2) Less than 75 feet- downgrade g) All yarn problems are listed on the Defect Code Sheet for use. It is the Inspector's responsibility to know and recognize the defects.
