Denier (D), also known as "Denier" or "Denier", refers to the weight grams of 9000m yarn or fiber at a given moisture regain. That is, for example, when a fiber with a length of 9000 meters weighs one gram, it is called1d.
Extended data:
1. Weight grams of 9000m long fiber at specific moisture regain. Denier is called Denier (D) for short. For example, the fiber weight of 9000m is 1g, and the larger the denier, the thicker the fiber is under the condition of constant fiber density. Often used to represent chemical fiber filaments, silk, etc. Daniel is not a metric unit, but it is the most commonly used. Writing: number (plus unit) x number of shares, such as: 2 1DX2.
2. Because the shapes of filaments and yarns are irregular, and there are hairiness (protruding short fiber hairs) on the surface of yarns, fineness is rarely expressed by diameter, but by denier or below. The thickness of natural silk or chemical fiber is expressed by the weight of a certain length of fiber. The finer the fiber, the smaller the fineness.
3. Weight grams of yarn with a length of 65,438+0,000m at a given moisture regain. The bigger the tex, the thicker the yarn. Tex is a metric unit. Because d ×1.11= decitex, Denier and decitex are similar. So dtex is also commonly used. Writing: number (plus unit) x number of shares, such as: 2 1texX2.
