Answer:
The relationship between yarn diameter and yarn size can be critical in determining the yarn or thread size needed to meet your requirements. A yarn or thread’s diameter and width can will affect the coverage of a yarn in a hose, how large of a yarn will fit into a wire or cable, and is important in determining the needle size required in industrial sewing applications.
The size (denier, dtex, tex, etc.) of a particular yarn or thread can be used to estimate the overall diameter and is helpful in determining what yarn size will work best in your application.
There are several variables needed to estimate a yarn or thread diameter, the tex size and fiber density. If you do not know the tex size, you will need to convert whatever yarn designation size you have to the tex size. If the yarn or thread size you are trying to estimate is listed in denier or dtex size, you can use the quick conversion chart below to convert to tex.

Convert To tex decitex (dtex) denier (den)
tex 10* tex 9* tex
decitex (dtex) dtex/10 dtex * 0.9
denier (den) den/9 den/ 0.9
To make things easier, you can also use our conversion calculator in the link below to convert any yarn count (size designation) to tex.
