Knot Density Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate knot density is:

\[ \text{KD} = \frac{\text{K}}{\text{AF}} \]

Where:

(KD) is the Knot Density (knots/cm²)
(K) is the total number of knots
(AF) is the area of fabric (cm²)

What is Knot Density?

Knot density refers to the number of knots per unit area in a fabric. It is an important measure in textiles, especially for carpets and rugs, as it affects the durability and texture of the fabric.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Number of Knots (K) = 500
Area of Fabric (AF) = 100 cm²

Using the formula:

\[ \text{KD} = \frac{500}{100} = 5 \]

The knot density is 5 knots/cm².
