Explanation:
Hat ein bisschen länger gedauert, aber ich glaube, ich hab's:

1. face weight= pile weight
The last consideration is face weight (weight of the carpet pile) per square yard. "A higher face weight means more yarn," says Grable, "And more yarn makes for a longer-lasting product." As an example, within one product line the "good-level" carpet has a face weight of 40 oz.; the "best-level" weighs in at 63 oz.

Face (or pile) weight: The total weight of the face (above and below the backing) yarns in the carpet. The more ounces per square yard, the denser the pile and, potentially, the greater the wearability of the carpet.

nach (DIN 53884) auch als "area weight" bezeichnet
Ich weiss aber nicht genau ob face weight und area weight dasselbe bezeichnen, vielleicht nur mit anderen Maßeinheiten (einmal mit metrischen und einmal mit englischen Maßeinheiten). Ich konnte dazu keine Quellen finden.
