Standard Tables of Conversion Factors and Equivalent Yarn Numbers Measured in Various Numbering Systems

[Back to all techniques](/analytical-techniques/)

## Scope

1.1 These tables include (_1_) a series of conversion factors required to convert the number of a yarn measured in a specific system to the equivalent number measured in various other systems (see Table 1), and (_2_) specific equivalent numbers for yarns measured in various systems (see Table 2).

1.2 The content is basically consistent with recommendations of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Standard 2947.

1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
