French coin, early 15c., from Old French dener, a small coin of slight value, roughly equivalent to the English penny, in use in France from the time of Charlemagne to early modern times, from Latin d [..]

Fabric unit of measure indicating density or fabric weight.

 the 12th part of a French sol coin.

Fiber weight per unit length (gram/9000-m length)

A unit of measure for the weight of fiber. Specifically, it is the weight in grams of 9,000 meters of a given fiber.

A yarn count unit. Denier is a direct numbering system; the higher the denier, the larger the yarn.

A French coin of very small value, roughly equivalent to a penny.    (Shaw, M.R.B. Joinville & Villehardouin: Chronicles of the Crusades, 361)

Unit of copper money during the old regime and equal to 1/240th of a livre. Twelve deniers made up a sou and 20 sous made up a livre. Prior to the Revolution, journeymen outside of Paris might make around 200 livres annually while provincial attorneys earned around 2,000 livres.

The weight in grams of 9.000meters of a given yarn (DPI – Denier per inch)

A direct numbering system for measuring fiber linear density (yield), equal to the mass in grams per 9000 meters of fiber roving.

A yarn count unit. Denier is a direct numbering system; the higher the denier, the larger the yarn.

A method of measuring the density of a fibre, usually seen in Nylon. The higher the density, the thicker the fabric.

a measurement of linear mass density; as an example, human hair is 20D – mass in grams per 9000m.

The mass of a strand of yarn

Denier is a weight measurement used to refer to fineness of a yarn or fiber. When measuring denier, the lower the number, the finer the fiber; the higher the number, the heavier the fiber. In clothing, 70-denier fabric is strong, heavy and usually used in tough shell garments; 30-denier fabric is lightweight and usually found in insulated garments [..]

Denier is the term used to indicate fiber size. A fiber denier is based on the weight of a fiber 9000 meters (29520 ft) long. The smaller the denier is in size, the finer the fiber.

The weight-per-unit-length measure of any linear material. The sizing of yarns used in woven fabrics including scrims are designated by denier. The weight, in grams, of 9000 meters of a single fiber strand.

>The weight/strength measurement of filament yarns and fibers

Weight measurement which refers to the fineness of a yarn. Typically, the lower the number, the finer the fiber; the higher the number, the heavier the fiber.

unit for the fineness of yarns -> Fineness

The unit of linear density equal to the mass in grams per 9000 m of fiber, yarn, or other textile strand.
