Method and formula

Warp Tensile Strength (N)=(EPI×52.54)×(Warp Tenacity (cN)100)Weft Tensile Strength (N)=(PPI×52.54)×(Weft Tenacity (cN)100)\begin{aligned} \text{Warp Tensile Strength (N)} &= \left(\frac{\text{EPI} \times 5}{2.54}\right) \times \left(\frac{\text{Warp Tenacity (cN)}}{100}\right) \\[1em] \text{Weft Tensile Strength (N)} &= \left(\frac{\text{PPI} \times 5}{2.54}\right) \times \left(\frac{\text{Weft Tenacity (cN)}}{100}\right) \end{aligned}
