To calculate the tow-tex number of a carbon fiber, you need the fiber diameter and density.

The tow-tex
number represents the weight in grams of 1,000 meters of a fiber tow. Here's how you can calculate it:

Convert the fiber diameter to meters: If your fiber diameter is given in a different unit, convert it to
meters. For example, if the diameter is given in millimeters (mm), divide it by 1000 to convert it to
meters.

Calculate the cross-sectional area of the fiber: The cross-sectional area of a circular fiber can be
calculated using the formula:

Area = π * (radius)^2

where π (pi) is a constant approximately equal to 3.14159, and the radius is half of the fiber diameter.

Calculate the volume of the fiber: The volume of the fiber can be determined using the formula:

Volume = Area * Length

In this case, the length should be considered as 1 meter since we are calculating the tow-tex number per
1,000 meters.

Calculate the weight of the fiber: The weight of the fiber can be calculated using the formula:

Weight = Volume * Density

Here, the density should be provided in grams per cubic meter (g/m³).

Calculate the tow-tex number: The tow-tex number is obtained by multiplying the weight of the fiber by
1,000:

Tow-Tex = Weight * 1000

This will give you the weight in grams of 1,000 meters of the carbon fiber tow.

remember to use consistent units throughout the calculations.
