Do you know what the D and T in nylon fabric mean?


Posted April 12, 2021 by zdfabric

D actually expresses the weight of the silk thread per unit length. T is a kind of nylon and silk-like fabric.

 
D=g/L*9000 where g is the weight of the silk thread/gram and L is the length of the silk thread/meter, which actually expresses the weight of the silk thread per unit length.

For example, the bottom fabric of many backpacks is made of 1000D nylon, which has a very high density and good wear resistance. Then, in other parts of the backpack that are not easy to wear, the material can be 600D or 420D nylon, and their relative density is required. The smaller, the larger the number before D, the heavier the cloth of the same area.

Usually, 150D or 70D nylon is used for tents, which takes into account cost, weight, and abrasion resistance. However, in some high-end super light tents, 30D and 40D fabrics are used to reduce weight to the greatest extent. The cost is a substantial increase in cost and relative The wear resistance is reduced.

The T in the fabric generally refers to polyester taffeta, which is a kind of nylon and silk-like fabric. It is generally used as the outer and inner tents of tents. It is light and strong, such as 190T. The previous number indicates the sum of the number of inner warp and weft yarns in 1 inch. It is actually a density unit.

You can also simply think that the larger the number before T, the heavier the cloth of the same area. For outdoor tents, considering its fragility in harsh environments, attention should be paid to whether it adopts a ripstop structure. Simply put, it is woven into a small square pattern. Even if one point is damaged, it will not be pulled bigger in strong wind.
