Yarn Count Conversion
(1) Yarn Count Definitions
|
Metric Count (Nm): Nm = m / 1-g |
Denier Count (den): Den = g / 9000-m |
|
English Cotton Count (NeB): NeB = 840-yd / 1-lb or NeB = 768.1-m / 453.59-g |
Tex Count (tex): Tex = g / 1000-m |
(2) Yarn Count Conversion Factors
|
From metric count (Nm) to others: Tex = 1000 / Nm NeB = 0.59 x Nm Den = 9000 / Nm |
From denier (den) to others: Nm = 9000 / den NeB = 5315 / den Tex = 0.111 x den |
|
From English cotton count (NeB) to others: Nm = 1.693 x NeB Tex = 590 / NeB Den = 5314 / NeB |
From tex count (tex) to others: Nm = 1000 / tex NeB = 590 / tex Den = 9 x tex |
(3) Conversion Examples
|
[ Ex. 1: NeB 30 = 5315/30 den = 177 den ] [ Ex. 2: 150 den = NeB 5315 / 150 = NeB 35 ] [ Ex. 3: NeB 20 = Nm 1.693 x 20 = Nm 34 ] |
