About Denier (den)

A textile-industry linear-density unit equal to grams per 9,000 meters, preserved from historic silk-trade measurement. Denier ("den") is the everyday unit for consumer textiles: pantyhose (10–80 den), fishing line braids, parachute-cord ripstop fabrics, and outdoor-gear rip-stop specifications (e.g., 400D or 1680D Cordura). 1 denier ≈ 0.111 tex ≈ 1.111 × 10⁻⁷ kg/m.

About Gram per Meter (g/m)

A metric linear-density unit equal to 0.001 kg/m. Used for thin wire, small-gauge cables, fishing line, and textile threads. Copper AWG wire tables, optical-fiber cable specifications, and high-temperature thermocouple wire datasheets typically list mass per length in g/m.
