Sample Tamil Nadu HSE First Year Textile Technology Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Tamil Nadu HSE First Year Textile Technology exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In textile fibre science, a staple fibre is best defined as a fibre that:
A.Cannot be spun into yarn under any condition
B.Has a finite length measured in millimetres or inches
C.Must always be a fully synthetic polymer
D.Has indefinite continuous length as extruded filament
Explanation: Staple fibres have finite length (for example cotton or cut man-made staple). Continuous filaments are essentially indefinite in length until cut. Spinning systems process staples into yarn by drafting and twisting.
2Cotton is classified primarily as which type of textile fibre?
A.Fully synthetic polyamide fibre
B.Natural cellulosic fibre
C.Mineral fibre
D.Natural protein fibre
Explanation: Cotton is a seed hair whose principal polymer is cellulose, so it is grouped with natural cellulosic fibres (with bast fibres such as flax and jute).
3The microscopic longitudinal appearance of mature cotton fibre typically shows:
A.Smooth cylindrical rods with no twists
B.Triangular cross-section only, with no twists
C.Scaly cuticle plates like wool
D.Ribbon-like convolutions (natural twists)
Explanation: Mature cotton fibres are flattened and ribbon-like with characteristic convolutions (twists) along the length, which aid cohesion in yarn.
4Wool fibre’s moisture regain is relatively high mainly because of its:
A.Protein structure with polar side groups that attract water
B.Total absence of amorphous regions
C.Metallic mineral composition
D.Completely non-polar hydrocarbon backbone only
Explanation: Wool is keratin protein with polar amino-acid side groups and amorphous regions that bind water, giving high moisture regain compared with many synthetics.
5Silk filament from the Bombyx mori cocoon is primarily composed of:
A.Polyester polymer
B.Inorganic silicate glass
C.Fibroin protein (with sericin gum)
D.Cellulose
Explanation: Cultivated silk consists mainly of fibroin (the filament protein) coated with sericin gum that is removed in degumming.
6Which property is most directly expressed by fibre fineness in textile technology?
A.Colour of the dyed fabric only
B.Melting point of the polymer only
C.Mass per unit length or diameter of the fibre
D.Number of warp beams on a loom
Explanation: Fineness describes how thick or thin a fibre is, often as linear density (tex, denier, micronaire) or diameter—critical for spinning limit, yarn evenness, and fabric hand.
7Jute, flax, and hemp are commonly grouped as:
A.Bast fibres obtained from plant stems
B.Mineral fibres from igneous rock
C.Fully synthetic thermoplastic fibres
D.Animal protein fibres from fleece
Explanation: Bast fibres are taken from the phloem (bast) of plant stems. Jute, flax, and hemp are classic bast examples used in textiles and technical applications.
8Moisture regain of a fibre is defined as the mass of moisture expressed as a percentage of the:
A.Oven-dry fibre mass
B.Wet fibre mass including free surface water only
C.Yarn twist factor only
D.Loom reed width only
Explanation: Standard moisture regain is moisture mass as a percentage of the bone-dry (oven-dry) fibre mass under specified conditioning, not of the wet mass.
9Which fibre is a regenerated cellulosic fibre produced via the viscose process?
A.Nylon 6,6
B.Polypropylene
C.Viscose rayon
D.Acrylic
Explanation: Viscose rayon is regenerated cellulose: wood pulp is dissolved and re-extruded as filament or staple, so it is man-made but not fully synthetic polymer chemistry like nylon.
10Polyester (PET) fibre is commercially important mainly because it typically offers:
A.Very high moisture absorption like wool with no strength
B.Good strength, easy-care behaviour, and good dimensional stability when heat-set
C.Complete solubility in cold water like sugar
D.Natural seed-hair growth on cotton plants
Explanation: PET polyester is valued for strength, resilience, easy care, and heat-set dimensional stability, though moisture absorption is relatively low compared with cellulose or wool.
