About Pound per Foot (lb/ft)

An imperial linear-density unit used in US structural engineering, petroleum pipe specifications, and marine chain/rope specs. Structural steel shapes in the US are named by their weight — a "W14×90" is a 14-inch wide-flange weighing 90 lb/ft. Oil-country tubular goods (OCTG) casing and tubing are quoted in lb/ft. 1 lb/ft ≈ 1.488 kg/m.

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.
