Abstract: Clothing and shade structures provide protection from the deleterious effects of ultraviolet radiations. Suitable construction parameters of fabrics and absorbers or finishing methods can be employed as UV protection fabrics. This study is trying to find a solution for this problem by studying the Influence of weft knitted fabrics Construction with its' different parameters for Protection against Ultraviolet Radiation. This study will stress on knitted fabrics because knitted fabrics of all kinds are generally popular because of their flexibility, ability to adapt as well as stretch them to a particular shape when worn, and because of their general comfortable wear.
