I can only give you a part answer.


The strength of a fibre is measured in cN/dTex units


The dtex part is the weight in grams of a 10km length of the fibre.


I am guessing that the N is Newtons


As far as I know.
cN stands for centinewton = 0,01 N
dTex stands for decitex = 0,1 Tex
And Tex is unit of density of single fiber per kilometer of lenght in grams.
Whole formula expresses the tensile strengh of an single fiber.
