Unit of Competency LMTTN2003B - Use basic recognition techniques to identify technical and non-woven textiles
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge to recognise the different types of technical textiles and non-woven materials, including component fibres and yarns. The unit includes underpinning knowledge on the difference between a woven or knitted technical textile and a non-woven textile.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application The unit applies to production of technical textiles and non-woven textiles, generally known in industry as non-wovens. The unit covers the recognition of textiles manufactured using natural or synthetic fibres or yarns. The recognition techniques do not require laboratory skills. The fibres forming the technical or non-woven textile may be a staple or continuous filament. Technical textiles covered by this unit are textiles used for engineering, safety, agricultural, medical and other specialised non-apparel furnishing and floor covering applications. Non-woven textiles covered by this unit may be made by mechanically, chemically or thermally interlocking layers or networks of fibres or filaments.Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:requirements prescribed by legislation, awards, agreements and conditions of employmentstandard operating procedureswork instructionsoral, written and visual communicationquality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section outputhousekeepingtasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control, and recyclingThis unit requires the application of skills associated with problem solving to identify and classify technical and non-woven textiles. Learning and self management skills are required to apply knowledge of technical and non-woven textiles and communication skills are used to testing procedures.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Demonstrates knowledge of:

difference between woven, knitted and non-woven textiles

difference between natural and synthetic fibres

OHS practices, including hazard identification and control measures

quality practices

workplace practices

recording and reporting practices

Demonstrates skills to:

read, interpret and follow information on work specifications, standard operating procedures and work instructions, and other reference material

maintain accurate records

communicate within the workplace

sequence operations

meet specifications

clarify and check task-related information

carry out work according to OHS practices

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.

Legislative/regulatory requirements

All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.

Fibres and yarns

Fibres and yarns may be of natural or synthetic origin and include:

spun

ply

combo

blended

crimped

monofilament

multifilament

staple spun

staple or continuous filaments

fusible fibres

bi-components

co-polyesters

Non-fibre-based materials

Other materials used in the manufacture of technical textile or non-woven products. Examples include paper or other materials used in wrapping, raw materials chemicals either in liquid, pellet or solid form, catalyst chemicals etc.

Woven textile

A textile fabric produced by interlacing two yarns of similar materials so that the yarns cross each other at right angles to produce the fabric

Knitted textile

Fabric produced by interlocking a series of loops of one or more yarns

Nonwoven

A manufactured sheet, web, batt or other product made up of directionally or randomly oriented fibres, or filaments bonded by friction, cohesion and/or adhesion, excluding paper. Non-wovens are made by mechanically, chemically or thermally interlocking layers or networks of fibres or filaments and may be based on a scrim (mesh into which fibres are inserted) or scrimless.

Technical

Technical textiles are textiles that have been manufactured for special performance properties and applications and are generally non-apparel, carpet or furnishing products unless a specific technical feature beyond what is normally found in clothing, carpet or furnishing products has been added. An example would be special fire retardant clothing.

Tests

Tests may include visual checking, colour matching, weighing, dimensional measuring and tests for moisture, stretch, gloss, texture, handle, tensile strength, stability, shrinkage, stretch, permeability, results of calendering, application of surface finishes.

Tests on raw materials, including fibres and yarns, intermediate and final fabrics.

OHS practices

OHS practices include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may relate to:

manual handling techniques

standard operating procedures

personal protective equipment

safe materials handling

taking of rest breaks

ergonomic arrangement of workplaces

following marked walkways

safe storage of equipment

housekeeping

reporting accidents and incidents

environmental practices

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
