Full title and description

ISO 10223:2005 — Textile machinery and accessories — Flat warp knitting machines — Numbering of guide bars. This International Standard specifies the designation and the numbering system for guide bars used on flat warp knitting machines (tricot, Raschel and related types).

Abstract

Specifies how guide bars on flat warp knitting machines are designated and numbered (abbreviation "B" and a continuous Arabic-numeral sequence), with conventions for order (front to back, bottom to top) and examples for common machine types.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn (ISO record: withdrawn; national catalogues list withdrawal in mid‑2025).
• Publication date: July 2005 (ISO edition date: 2005‑07).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 59.120.40 — Knitting machines.
• Edition / version: Edition 2 (2005).
• Number of pages: 6 pages (ISO published text).

Scope

ISO 10223:2005 applies to flat warp knitting machines and defines the designation and numbering of guide bars (the bars that carry yarn guides). It gives the symbol/abbreviation to be used, the numbering sequence (Arabic numerals starting from the foremost bar), and illustrative examples for common machine arrangements (single and double flat warp knitting machines).

Key topics and requirements

• Designation rule: guide bars are identified by the letter "B" followed by a continuous Arabic numeral (B 1, B 2,. .).
• Numbering direction: numbering is assigned from the front position toward the back, and from bottom to top when applicable.
• Classification of typical guide bars: ground guide bar, pattern guide bar, jacquard guide bar, filler thread guide bar (common designations and examples).
• Normative references and vocabulary: cross‑references to related ISO vocabulary standards for knitting machine elements (for example ISO 8640‑1).
• Illustrative numbering examples for RL (single) and RR (double) machine types to promote consistent documentation and spare‑parts identification.

Typical use and users

Used by textile machinery manufacturers, machine designers, technical writers, maintenance and service personnel, and standards committees to ensure consistent labelling and documentation of guide bars across flat warp knitting equipment. It helps with machine drawings, spare‑parts lists and cross‑company communication.

Related standards

Relevant cross‑references include ISO 8640‑1 (vocabulary for knitting machine elements) and earlier ISO 10223:1992 (previous edition). National adoptions/identical publications include DIN ISO 10223 and BS ISO 10223:2005; other textile machinery safety and representation standards (for example parts of ISO 11111 series and ISO 23606 family) are commonly consulted alongside this standard.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10223:2005 is an ISO standard that defines how guide bars on flat warp knitting machines are designated and numbered to ensure uniform identification across machines and documentation.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the symbol/abbreviation for guide bars, the sequence and direction of numbering (front to back, bottom to top), example classifications of guide bar types, and illustrative numbering examples for common machine configurations.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Machine manufacturers, technical documentation authors, maintenance teams, spare‑parts departments and standards committees in the textile and knitting‑machine sector.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The ISO record shows ISO 10223:2005 as withdrawn; national catalogues list its withdrawal in mid‑2025 (withdrawal recorded in mid‑2025 by ISO and national bodies). The 2005 edition had replaced the 1992 edition when first published. If you need the active practice for new equipment, check with ISO or your national standards body for any replacement or alternative documents.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is the ISO document numbered 10223 with an earlier 1992 edition (ISO 10223:1992) and the 2005 revision; it sits within ISO/TC 72 work on textile machinery but is a standalone technical specification for guide‑bar numbering rather than one part of a multipart safety standard.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Key keywords are: guide bar, numbering, designation, flat warp knitting, tricot, Raschel, textile machinery, ISO 10223.
