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.
About Tex (tex)
A textile-industry linear-density unit equal to grams per 1,000 meters (= 10⁻⁶ kg/m). Tex is the ISO-standard unit for fiber and yarn fineness worldwide — tire-cord, industrial belting, carpet yarn, and sewing thread specifications list fineness in tex. Direct measurement: heavier fiber = higher tex.
