Analysis Of Artificial Turf Terms

Artificial turf terms include grass density, grass pitch, stitch length, line spacing, dtex, grass shape, root number, and other parameters. The appearance of artificial turf is composed of grass parameters. The term artificial turf refers to the specific anatomy of the artificial turf and the detailed analysis of the artificial turf frame.

Artificial turf terminology: density

Artificial grass density, also known as tuft density, refers to the number of stitches of artificial grass tufts within 1㎡. The density depends on the pitch and stitch length of the grass.

Artificial turf pitch: refers to the number of needles of 1m in each row of grass, generally take the number of needles of 10cm to count and multiply by ten.

Artificial turf pitch: also called line spacing. Refers to the distance between lines. The distance between two ridges in the course of lawn preparation is generally measured in inches. Currently common 3/4, 3/8, 5/8, 5/16 inches.

One inch = 2.54cm

Calculate the density of the artificial turf with the common 20-pin / 10cm weave and 3 / 4-inch line spacing. 3/4 inch = 3/4 * 2.54cm = 1.905cm. There are 100cm / 1.905cm = 52.5 lines within 1m. There are 20 * 10 = 200 stitches within 1m of each line. It can be obtained that the tuft density of 1㎡ is 52.5 * 200 = 10500

Artificial Turf Terminology: Dtex (DTEX)

Artificial turf Dtex (DTEX): It is the weight of a strand of grass 10000m long, which is a measure of the weight of grass of the same length, that is, the density of the grass itself.

The shape of the artificial grass silk is divided into monofilament, mesh and curved silk, and the number of artificial roots is divided into 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 (usually divided by double numbers).

Other terms for artificial turf include base fabric and adhesive. One of the raw materials constituting the lawn is the base fabric, which is divided into single and double layers. The double-layer base fabric will add a layer of mesh cloth under the PP base fabric to avoid the bottom of the lawn from breaking. The lawn adhesive is coated with a special layer of lawn glue on the bottom of the lawn to fix and protect the grass.

Artificial turf models have different models and different functions, including sports grass, leisure grass and multifunctional grass. Different types of lawns have different woven pitch, stitch length, and grass density. For example, the artificial turf of football field needs to add rubber particles, so the density will not be very high, but the Dtex number is higher than that of ordinary artificial turf, which is more resistant to severe friction and wear.
