Definition(s)
Untwisted Fibrous Bundle
Mass of a fibrous bundle expressed per unit length.
- Note: 1 to entry: A higher tow tex indicates a heavier roving. Tow tex is inversely proportional to yield. Consequently, a lower yield indicates a heavier roving. Tow tex is typically expressed as grams per kilometer. Yield is typically expressed as yards per pound. Tow tex = 496 054,6/yield.
