I believe there's a misunderstanding in the phrasing of your question. "Shand" isn't a standard term used in relation to needles or their specifications. The information provided—100/16 134 needle—refers to a sewing machine needle system. Let's break down what each part means and address potential interpretations of what you might be asking for:
Understanding the Needle Specification: 100/16 134
-
100: This is the system number. Different sewing machine manufacturers use different numbering systems. 100 is a common system, but not universal. This number signifies the needle's overall dimensions and compatibility with specific machine types.
-
16: This refers to the needle's size. Size 16 is a medium-sized needle, suitable for many fabrics. The higher the number, generally the thicker the needle.
-
134: This likely refers to the needle's point type. Different point types are designed for different fabric types. For example, a 134 might indicate a sharp point, suitable for woven fabrics. The exact meaning of "134" will depend on the needle manufacturer. There isn't a universally standardized naming convention for point types across all manufacturers.
What you might be looking for:
Given that "shand" isn't a recognized term, you might be interested in one of the following:
-
Needle Shank: The shank is the part of the needle just below the eye. Its size and shape are crucial for proper machine compatibility. The 100/16 specification implicitly defines the shank dimensions, but a precise measurement requires consulting the needle manufacturer's documentation for that specific needle model.
-
Needle Length: The overall length of the needle is not explicitly stated in "100/16 134," but it's determined by the system number (100). This length is critical for correct fitting within the machine.
-
Needle Properties: If you're concerned about the needle's properties (strength, sharpness, etc.), then the information "100/16 134" is insufficient. You need to identify the manufacturer and product number for a more detailed specification. The manufacturer's website or packaging would contain this information.
To get the information you need:
Please provide more details:
- Needle Manufacturer: (e.g., Schmetz, Organ, etc.)
- Needle Model Number: (This will usually be found on the needle packaging.)
With this information, you can easily find the precise specifications, including any dimensional information, on the manufacturer's website or in the product documentation.
