Yarn numbering system
Yarn count
A numeric value to measurement yarn finesse or core ness.
Yarn numbering system
Direct system
According to this system, yarn length is fixed and weight is variable.
However the following general formula can used to find count in all direct system.
WXl
N =
L
Where,
N = The yarn in direct system.
W = The weight of the sample.
L = The length of the sample.
l = The units of length of the system.
1. Tex system,Tt
2. Denier system,D or Td
3. Deci system,dtex
4. Millitex,mtex
5. Kilotex,ktex
6. Jute counts.
Tex system and Denier system are two of the most widely used direct counting system.
10
Direct system
Tex system
WXl
N =
L
# W = 50gms
# l = 1000metres
# L = 2500metres
50 X 1000
N =
2500
=20 tex
Denier system
According to this system, number of grams per 9000 meters.
For example,
If length of 1350 meters of silk yarn weight is 7.5gms.What is denier of the yarn?
We have know the formula,
WXl
N =
L
7.5 X 9000
N = =50 denier
1350
# W = 7.5gms
# l = 9000metres
# L = 1350metres
11
Indirect system
However the following general formula can used to find count in all indirect system.
LXw
N =
lXW
Where,
N = The yarn count in indirect system.
W = The weight of the sample.
w = The units of weight of the system
L = The length of the sample.
l = The units of length of the system
But, English cotton count, Ne system and Metric count, Nm system are two of the most widely
used indirect counting system
12
For example,
LXw
# L = 9800m
N =
lXW
# W = 490gm
9800 X 453.6
Ne =
8400.9144 X490
Ne = 11.81
Ne = 12
Problem
# on a cone, there are 9800metres yarn which weight 490gm, what is count denier \ Tex of the
yarn?
# If length of 2500 meters of polyester yarn weight is 50gms.What is Ne \ Nm of the yarn?
