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 Pound per Inch (lb/in)
An imperial linear-density unit used occasionally for small US-made wire, small structural sections, and some legacy specifications. 1 lb/in = 12 lb/ft ≈ 17.86 kg/m. Less common than lb/ft but appears in specialty tooling and small-section references.
