Yarn information

Yarn designation

Example: PA 6.6 78dtex/f46x4 Z88 text HE gl

Designation									Meaning
PA									Raw material Polyamide
	6.6								Raw material specification
		78 dtex							Weight per 10.000 m per hank
			f 46						Number of filaments per hank
				x4					Plying Number of hanks
					Z88				Rotation Number of twists per meter with Z-twist
						text			textured
							HE		Elasticity Highly Elastic
								gl	Luster Glossy

Calculation of the single titer (single filament)

Formula:
Weight per 10.000 m per hank / Number of filaments per hank = Weight per 10.000 m per filament

Example:78 g / f46 = 1,696 g (rounded)

Result: One filament with a length of 10.000 m weighs 1,696 grams.

Calculation of the final titer:

Formula:
Weight per 10.000 m per hank x Number of hanks = final titer by dtex

Example:78 dtex x 4 = 312 dtex

Result: 10.000 m yarn weigh 312 grams.

Conversion from dtex into Nm:

Nm = Length in meters per 1 gram

Formula:
Weight: 1g x reference length dtex / final titer = Length in meters (Nm)

Example:1g x 10.000m / 312g = 32,051m (rounded)

Result: Approx. 32m of yarn weigh 1 gram (Nm 32).

Filament yarns
	Filament yarns are yarns from continuous fibers (filaments) that are spun by the silkworm or by chemical technical means.		Monofilament: = one filament Multifilament: = several filaments non-twisted or several filaments twisted
Recommended yarns for gauge E 7.2: Final yarn titer: 500 – 900 dtex
