By yarn count, you are probably referring to yarn weight using the fixed weight system (length/lb). The higher the number, the finer the yarn because there are more yards of it in a pound. The yarn count usually refers to a single ply. If it is a plied yarn, there is usually a "/" followed by the number of plies. Example: 20/2 is a yarn of two plies with each ply being 20. When a yarn is plied, you divide the yarn count by the number of plies to determine how many yards of the plied yarn are in a pound. Simple enough, but the length of yarn counted varies depending on the type of yarn and where it was produced. For one type of yarn a unit of length might be 840 yds but for another it might be 200 or 560 yds. To use the fixed count system, you need to know the fiber content and spinning style (woolen or worsted) in order to interpret the meaning of the yarn count. Use the handy converter in the link below to get from what ever yarn count system you have to the TEX system.

What is nominal count in textile are the nominal count and thread count are the same in textile?

Nominal count in textiles refers to the measurement of yarn thickness, typically expressed in terms of weight per unit length (e.g., Ne or Tex). Thread count, on the other hand, measures the number of threads woven together in a square inch of fabric, combining both warp and weft threads. While both terms relate to the characteristics of fabric, they describe different aspects: nominal count focuses on yarn size, while thread count pertains to fabric density. Therefore, they are not the same in textile terminology.

How the yarn RKM valaue relates to yarn strength?

RKM is the short expression for "Reisskilometer" - "Breaking-kilometer", which is an unit out of date. This can be expressed by the "breaking force of yarn per kilometers" at which yarn will break of its own weight". This is equivalent to breaking load in g/tex. E.g.: a Cotton-yarn with 15 RKM means, it would break of its own weight, if you wind off 15 km of the yarn and hang it up in 15km.
