Convert between tex and denier units for textile yarn linear density measurements
Conversion Formula:
Denier = Tex × 9
Tex = Denier / 9
| Tex (tex) | Denier (den) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 9 |
| 5 | 45 |
| 10 | 90 |
| 15 | 135 |
| 20 | 180 |
| 30 | 270 |
| 50 | 450 |
| 75 | 675 |
| 100 | 900 |
| 200 | 1800 |
Tex is the SI unit for linear mass density of fibers and yarns. It is defined as the mass in grams per 1,000 meters of fiber. It provides a standardized way to measure yarn fineness across the textile industry.
Denier is a traditional unit of measurement for the linear mass density of fibers. It is defined as the mass in grams per 9,000 meters of fiber. It's commonly used in the hosiery, carpet, and synthetic fiber industries.
To convert tex to denier, multiply the tex value by 9. For example, 10 tex equals 90 denier (10 × 9 = 90).
Use tex for international standards and technical specifications as it's the SI unit. Use denier when working with industries that traditionally prefer it, such as hosiery manufacturers or when dealing with nylon and polyester specifications.
Both higher tex and denier numbers indicate thicker, heavier yarns or fibers. Lower numbers represent finer, lighter materials. For example, hosiery typically uses 10-20 denier, while carpet yarns may use 1000+ denier.
