We present comparative results of tests on commercial and experimental platinum/palladium spinnerets in forming polyacrylonitrile filament yarn of 50 tex. The experimental spinnerets were made with holes of high precision diameter (0.08 ± 0.001 mm). The spinnerets were characterized by their integrated throughput (the flow-through time for distilled water) while the filament yarns were characterized by their linear density. We demonstrate a correlation between the filament linear density and the flow-through time. In this case, the criteria for uniformity of the filament with respect to linear density (variance, range, mean-square deviation, coefficient of variation) are statistically significantly smaller for the experimental spinnerets than for the commercial spinnerets.
