What do the different ratings mean?

Could someone please explain what the different ratings, such as "600D ripstop" or "1200D" for polyester fabric mean? 600D 1200D "D" represents Denier,(indirect yarn count ) which denotes the thickness of the yarn. 600D implies -- 9 meters <-[Should be 9 kilometers.] of yarn weigh 600 grams 1200D implies- 9 meters of yarn weigh 1200 grams —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.170.11.251 (talk) 14:56, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Blatant copying and pasting

A large portion of this article save for the introductory paragraph appears to be a straight copy and paste. Also references 4 and 5 are not specific cites but just websites. Meowist (talk) 05:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
