Standardization utilization of quantity and unit of linear density

At present,nonstandard expressions of linear density is often found in the manuscripts submitted to textile journals.For instance,linear density is expressed as fiber number,fineness,yarn count,etc.,and its unit has denier, metric count,English count,count,etc.The main reasons for nonstandard expression are as follows: self-no normalization of some standards,too long age of some terminology standards,lack of attention to the term of linear density in some textile standards,no clear explanation of the term of linear density in textile reference books,inadequate attention paid to linear density and its quantity and unit in some reference books(e.g.Cihai),customary use of denier but linear density(tex) in textile trade.It is recommended that textile journals should execute the national standard about quantities and units,correctly use the quantity symbol and unit of linear density and fully propagate the related standard.
