Cotton Count Ne Tex Tex= 590.5/Cotton Count
Metric Count Nm Tex Tex= 1000/Metric Count
cotton Count NeDenier Denier = 5315/Cotton Count(Ne)
Cotton Count(Ne)Worsted CountWorsted Count = Cotton Count(Ne) * 1.5
DenierTexTex = Denier/9
DenierDecitexDecitex = Denier * 1.11
Denier Tex Tex= Denier * 0.1111
Denier Microaire(mircogrms/inch) Micronaire = Denier * 2.822
Micronaire(micrograms/inch) Denier Denier = Micronaire*0.354
Newton Kgf Kgf = 9.81 * Newton
gf/den milliNewton/tex,mN/tex mN/tex = 88.3 * gf/den
KgCandyCandy = 355.6Kg
KgMetric TonMetric Ton = Kg * 1000
Gr/yd Kilotex Kilotex = 0.07087 * Gr/yd
Grms/yd Kilotex Kilotex = 1.094 * Grms/yd
Twist Factor(conventional) = (TPI/(Count^0.5) Twist Factor (SIunits)= Turns/cm * (Tex^0.5) Turns/cm * (Tex^0.5) = 9.57 *TPI/(Count^0.5)
Pascal(Newton/sq meter) Kgf/sq cm Pascal = Kgf/sq cm * 9.806 * 10000
Cover factor (conventional) = (Threads/inch)/(cotton count)^0.5Cover factor(SI) = (Threads/cm)×tex×10-1Cover factor(SI) = Cover factor(conventional)×0.957

Miscellaneous Information

1 hectare = 2.47 acre = 10000 sq metre
1 metric Tonne = 1000 Kg = 2204.6 lb = 10 quintal
1 ton = 200cwt =2240 lb
1quintal q = 100kg
1lbs/sqin = 0.070307 kg/sq cm
If c1 = warp count
c2 = weft count
p1 = ends/inch
p2 = picks/in
r1 = crimp of warp
r2 = crimp of weft
then GSM grams/sq metre) of fabric = 23.25[p1(1+ r1)/c1 + p2(1 + r2)/c2]
Break Even Point = TFC/SUP - VCUP
TFC = Total fixed costs
SUP = Selling price/unit production
VCUP = Variable costs/unit of production
Debt Servicecoverage ratio (DSCR) = Net Revenue available for debt service/ Loan repayment (principal + interest)
