9,000 meters are roughly 10,000 yards. Which is a common length for yarn spools for industrial grade sewing machines and looms. Probably that's why denier is based on 9,000 meters. One could easily select the right spools for weaving a certain denier fabric in advance by weighing the spools and substracting the plastic core's weight ;-)
Since you mentioned plate carriers, I am interested in purchasing a carrier that reinforces the plate pocket with two layers of 1680D Cordura Ballistic weave on BOTH sides of the plate -- based on this logic, that would be substantially stronger than 500D, but not even really perceptibly heavier. The purpose of the reinforcement is to prevent fragmented ceramic and metal from leaving the plate pocket and potentially injuring the wearer. Would you agree? Sorry to chime in 8 years later.
I think he says denier is unit of weight. To be more precise it's the linear denisty. So you multiply the length of what you have by the denier to get the weight.
i love how your trying so hard to explain this to someone who has no idea about it ! i can see you struggle to find some words to use and it made me giggle but thanks for the help i did learn some good stuff here!
I read somewhere that 1 denier is howmuch silk strain that weighs 1 gram. Which is measured to be 9000 meters! So the threads' thicknesses are conspired to silk.
Saw a MC Jacket today i got intrested in. But the price seems very cheap and I couldn't find someone else selling it. On site you can read about the jacket: "600 denier 100% polyester canvas body with cowhide leather. Polyester mesh body lining. Polyester mesh and polyester taffeta sleeve lining." I wonder if this is good enough to be a Mc jacket?
MultiCam is ONLY the name of the printed pattern on the material. MultiCam has been printed on literally 100's of different materials. MultiCam doesn't suggest a certain strength or quality of the fabric/material. Only the printed image.
Hi! This may be a silly question, but what determines the quality of nylon? To what I understand denier is just the weight, but the higher the denier doesn't really determine higher quality right? Or does it? TIA
Hello. Quality is a very subjective term. You could be referring to finish , strength, abrasion resistance, etc. The most important thing is to make sure you are getting your materials from a reputable mill that is using reputable yarns in their factory. In our industry (tactical gear) Invista yarns in their Cordura line of materials is the benchmark in which all others are compared too. So, we only purchase from mills that use Invista yarns.
@@missionspec Thanks for such a detailed response! so, say if you're looking for a soft lustrous luxury feel of a nylon fabric lets say in a garment bag, what exactly would you be looking for in the categories you've mentioned (finish, strength, abrasion etc)?
@@iareskater I'm sorry but I am not going to have an answer for you. That is way outside of our scope. We build warfighting items so the fabrics just aren't going to be in the same realm. The best way to get this type of information is to find some Facebook groups of people who build similar products to what you are doing. They will have the knowledge that you need. Thanks!
So I'm looking at getting a very durable duffel bag and I see one that is 420D double sided TPU coated nylon and another that is 900-denier ripstop polyester. Which one would be thicker or more durable?
Sadly that isn't enough information to be fully sure without knowing exactly what materials are being used. Assuming the nylon is a Cordura material (it might or it might now be) that is still pretty tough. 900 denier ripstop polyester could be many different products.
Can someone please tell me how well abrasion resistance 600d polyster is. Many riding jackets & pants in India are made of 600d polyster with Invista cordura on shoulder, elbow, knee & shin area. I am aware Invista cordura is more abrasion resistance, but how much normal 600d polyster is at withstanding abrasion resistance.
Yes, the measurement is the same but the strength of the yarns are not the same. It all comes down to the weight of the individual fibers/yarns. So 1000D Cordura Nylon is not the same as 1000D polypropylene. They each have their own properties.

So the threads' thicknesses are conspired to silk.
Even crazier is that microfiber is less than 1D... Less than a gram for 9000M.
This is actually my name
Every time he said denier sound so sharp because it's my name
They are at least 1000 Deniers out there
What "Fabric?"
Denier is my name.
is 1000d on boots considered heavy winter boots? or just very durable boots that i can wear in hotter weather
the opposite of denier is defar.
Get out.
@@ErikAndersonNorthStar NEVER!
LOL YES!!!!!!!!!!

Can you explain how to decide fabric gsm for fibc bag of swl 1 ton, sf 5:1, bag size 90x90x90cm
So I'm looking at getting a very durable duffel bag and I see one that is 420D double sided TPU coated nylon and another that is 900-denier ripstop polyester. Which one would be thicker or more durable?

Perfect explanation! Thank you!
No problem!
if a fabric is 100% poly 210T, taffeta, 63Dx63D
So what would be the gsm of the fabric and how to calculate.?
In what universe do we use imperial system units? Ounces per square yard?

I am aware Invista cordura is more abrasion resistance, but how much normal 600d polyster is at withstanding abrasion resistance.
Which will be stronger 290t or 600d
Which fabric is much better in weight according danier
Thank you!
Very well explained sir
Den-ee-uh
Could it be comparable to units like gauge and grit? As in like wire and sandpaper? The higher the number, the finer it is?
Well. It is the opposite. 1000D material has much larger yarn (filament) than 500D. But your basic idea is correct, just backwards.
@@missionspec Alright. Thank you.
Okay... I got it but I have a question. Is that number the same as the polypropylene yarns denier? Anyone can please explain to me??????
Yes, the measurement is the same but the strength of the yarns are not the same. It all comes down to the weight of the individual fibers/yarns. So 1000D Cordura Nylon is not the same as 1000D polypropylene. They each have their own properties.
Can you please tell us which daneir fabric is much better to use for backpacks
There is no simple answer for that. We use Cordura fabrics for those types of applications.
I mean to say that 900 d. 500d. Or dobby clothes
Ok you tell me which coating is best pu uly ot pre coating
@@shahzadblog4794 We would use PU as it adds a pretty good water resistance to the project. But that is just our opinion.
@@missionspec thanks but how can we recognize quality
@@missionspec like tear quality and density weight
So think thread count in sheets
One way to look at it.
How strong is 210 denier Nylon ? ? ?
Not incredibly strong.
So what the hell does Denier Mean?
Did you watch the video. What part has you confused?
Martindale test
9000mm not meters
It is actually meters.
So you’re saying that 5 miles of the 1,000 Denier weighs 2 pounds? You must mean 1 single strand.
He actually says "yarn" right at the beginning of the video ;-)
@@mtnton1 Yes, it refers to 1 single strand.
