English term or phrase: Fabric density is 128X68 and fabric count is 30.
Hi,

I'm translating a duvet cover description and there are two different quantities given. The problem is not with the translation of the words but with the translation of the numbers, as there is no unit of measure given, but I have to give one for the translation (maybe gr./ m²?) as well as converting the numbers if necessary.

How do I translate these numbers and what are the corresponding units of measure?

If it helps, this is a Chinese company advertising in Amazon.

Thanks.

Explanation:
Hola!
No he encontrado nada al respecto, mejor dicho, he encontrado que en ningún sitio ponen unidades para el valor 128x68, siempre aparece como densidad del tejido pero sin unidades. Así, yo lo dejaría tal cual, los mismos números sin nada detrás. Y exactamente lo mismo con el 30. Parece común no indicar nada detrás del número.
Te pongo uno link como ejemplo de los muchos que he encontrado
En especificaciones se ven las cifras que tu indicas, también sin unidades (pone 60 en vez de 30, debe haber varias)

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hola. Gracias por tu tiempo. La verdad es que yo tampoco he encontrado unidades de medida, pero este cliente insiste siempre en ponerlas y en realidad algunas deben de tener. El problema es que muchas de estas páginas de comercio electrónico (aliexpress, eBay, Amazon, etc.) vienen con traducciones automáticas, así que no son fiables. Saludos.

fabric density is 128x68 and fabric count is 30.
la densidad es del material es de 128x68 y el recuento de hilos de 30


Explanation:
Lo más frecuente es describir el peso de una determinada longitud de hilo —la industria textil lo llama «número» o «título»—, como el denier americano o el «tex» europeo. Se pueden referir a las fibras, a los hilos (fabricados con las fibras) o a los tejidos (fabricados con los hilos).

Adjunto referencias que podría llegar a ser útil sobre unidades de medidas textiles para la densidad textil y para la cuenta de hilos.

**Fabric count: ** It is measured by counting the number of threads contained in one square inch of fabric or one square centimeter, including both the length (warp) and width (weft) threads.


What is the density of fabric?
Fabric density helps explain the thickness of textile products. It is a measurement that provides the base weight of the fabric, given as a value of grams per square metre.

How to calculate the density of the fabric? The density of fabrics refers to the number of warp or weft yarns that the fabric has per unit length. Density is divided into warp density and weft density. The measurement method is commonly used in China: the number of yarns in the 1 inch (2.54 cm) length. For example, the warp density of a piece of fabric is 128 inches / inch, and the density of the weft yarn is 60 inches / inch. When writing, it is indicated by density and weft density, that is, 128 x 60. (In your case it is 128 x 68).**
