Comments for the technical tables

Monofilament fabrics
W :   Mesh opening in microns (1 µm = 0,001 mm) vacuum dimensions.
Item :   Identification of a DIATEX fabric.
Mesh count :   Number of yarns per inch (= 2,54 cm) and per cm in the 2 senses (warp / weft).
Open area :   Proportion of the vacuum surface compared with basic surface (outside dimensions of the mesh).
Yarn diameter :   Monofilament diameter in microns.
Tensile strenght :   Mechanical resistance to the breaking point in daN/5 cm (= Kg/5 cm). The test sample measures 5 cm of width and is stretched in the direction length until rupture.
Weight :   Surface weight expressed in grams / m².
