Formula for Yarn Diameter Calculation

The question provides a specific formula used in textile calculations:

$ \text{Diameter} = \frac{1}{26\sqrt{\text{counts}}} $

This formula directly relates the diameter of a yarn to its count.

  • Yarn Count is a measure of the fineness or thickness of a yarn. Different systems exist (e.g., Tex, Ne, Nm), but the formula implies a specific system where count is inversely related to diameter.
  • The formula shows that as the yarn count increases (meaning the yarn is finer/thinner), the calculated diameter decreases.

Therefore, the given formula is specifically used to calculate the yarn Diameter.

Answer: The correct option is B: Diameter.
