Formulas to estimate required materials, yield references and standard packaging specifications for EY Technologies coated braid yarns.
How to Estimate Required Materials
The following relationship may be applied:
- Ø = Braid Angle
- L = Harness Length
- L' = Yarn Length Inches
Total Yarn Length, L' (inches) =
(Number of Braid Carriers N × Braid Diameter (") × 3.14) / Cos Ø
× Harness Length
Pounds Required, W (lbs) =
Total Yarn Length, L' / 36 × (Yield yds/lbs)
Yield (yds/lbs)
| VN4400 & VN4400S | 1,000 yds/lbs (2,000 m/kg) |
| VN4000 & VN4000S | 550 yds/lbs (1,100 m/kg) |
| EY-1877 | 1,273 yds/lbs (2,546 m/kg) |
| EY-3025 | 1,000 yds/lbs (2,000 m/kg) |
