PERFORMANCE RATING
Face Weight or Ounces: Face weight is determined by the
amount of fiber in one square yard of carpet.
Yarn Ply- twist: Turns per inch, the number of times two or
more yarns have been piled or twisted is measured in the length
of one inch. The performance of cut pile carpet is influenced
most by the twist in the pile yarn.
Pile Height: Pile height is the length of the tuft from the backing
surface, or bottom of the carpet face, to the tip of the yarn tuft.
It is measured as a fraction of an inch or as a decimal equivalent.
Increasing or decreasing the pile height can affect the
performance.
Stitches per inch: Just as the gauge controls the frequency of
the tufts across the width, stitches per inch defines the number
of stitches sewn by the needles down the length of the carpet.
The stitch rate is controlled by the speed at which the primary
backing is fed through the tufting machine. A generally accepted
rule of thumb is that the stitches per inch should roughly equal
the number of needles per inch in the in the gauge.
Density: The amount of pile packed into a given volume of
carpet. Density is a product of the stitch rate, gauge, yarn
weight and size.
