TS 5567

TS 5567 is a terminology standard for textile machinery, focused on the basic terms used for spinning preparatory machinery, spinning machinery, and doubling (twisting) machinery. It brings together the vocabulary used across cotton systems, worsted systems, semi-worsted systems, woollen systems, synthetic fibres, and special manufacture applications, so the same machine groups and process stages are described consistently.

As a terminology document, it is intended to define and harmonize names rather than to specify machine performance or operating requirements. Spinning preparatory machinery is associated with fibre preparation before spinning; spinning machinery converts fibres into yarn; and doubling or twisting machinery combines yarns or adds twist to achieve the desired yarn structure. Clear terminology helps engineers, technical writers, trainers, suppliers, and plant personnel avoid ambiguity when referring to equipment and process sequences.

How the technical vocabulary is organized

The standard covers the core naming used in production settings where different fibre systems and yarn routes coexist. This matters because the same general function may be described differently depending on the fibre type, process line, or regional practice. By setting common terms, the standard supports more precise communication in specification sheets, maintenance instructions, education materials, and factory documentation. It is a vocabulary reference, not a test method or a machine design standard.

The listing is identified as equivalent to ISO 2187:1976, placing it within the established international terminology used for textile machinery classification and communication.
