Washing ranges for the continuous treatment of textile materials commonly consist of a number of units in sequence, each unit comprising an immersion tank and a mangle nip. Previous analyses of the performance of this type of plant, or of essentially similar plant in other industries, have usually been based on the assumption that the material is brought into equilibrium with the wash water in each unit. Here the analysis is generalised by the use of a factor, based on experimental evidence and called the washing parameter, which is in effect a measure of the efficiency of washing within the unit. The significance of this parameter is discussed.
