What to enter
| Input | Meaning and units |
|---|---|
| Net yarn mass (g) | Enter net yarn mass in g; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
| Complete yarn linear density (tex) | Enter complete yarn linear density in tex; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
Understanding your result
Gross cone mass overstates length; use net yarn mass.
Common mistakes
- Do not confuse tex and decitex.
Check your calculation
- Use the worked example as a known reference case, then change one input at a time and check the direction and units of the response.
