Question:

too find RKM of yarn with known gtp of fibre?

how to calculate rkm of yarn having known gtp of cotton fibre

Answer:

more info is needed before this can be answered.
This can be expressed by the “Length of yarn in km” at which yarn will break of its own weight”This is equivalent to breaking load in g/texRKM is the short expression for “Reisskilometer” – “Breaking-kilometer”, which is an unit out of dateE.g.: a Cotton-yarn with 15 RKM means, it would break of its own weight, if you wind off 15 km of the yarn and hang it up in 15kmNowadays it is common practice, to use the unit Centi-Newton per Tex (cN/Tex) or gram-force per Tex (gf/Tex)RKM and cN/Tex or gf/Tex are practically the same.
