旦尼尔

At a glance

Written by: FZEDC· Hong Kong

A unit for fibre thickness, shown as D in bag fabric specs.

纤维粗细的单位，在包袋面料规格中写作 D。

Denier measures the linear mass of a fibre: the weight in grams of 9,000 metres of yarn. Fabric specs write it with a D, for example 500D or 1000D.

A higher denier usually means thicker yarn and a heavier, more abrasion-resistant fabric, although weave and coating matter too.

旦尼尔（denier）衡量纤维的线密度：9,000 米纱线的克重。面料规格中用 D 表示，例如 500D 或 1000D。

旦数越高通常意味着纱线越粗、面料越厚重耐磨，但织法和涂层也很重要。
