GSM Calculation Method without Using GSM Cutter:

During calculating fabric GSM without using any GSM cutter, we should follow the following steps:

1. At first, cut 5pcs (12cm × 12cm) fabric sample from the different portion of fabric. (Here 12cm is in length and 12cm
is in width).

2. Measure the weight of each sample in one by one method.

3. Now, calculate the average weight of fabric sample.

4. Also calculate the fabric sample area by multiplying length and width.

5. Now by putting “average sample weight” and “fabric sample area” in the following formula, we can get easily the
fabric GSM.

GSM calculation formula (in case of without using GSM cutter),

Example:
Suppose,
5pcs (12cm × 12cm) size fabric sample weights are 1.8gm, 2gm, 1.85gm, 1.90gm and 1.95gm respectively.
Now,

Average weight of (12cm × 12cm) size fabric sample is,

= 1.9gm
And,
Sample fabric area = fabric sample length × fabric sample width
= (12 × 12)
= 144cm2
Now,
GSM (in case of without using GSM cutter),

= 131.94
So, fabric GSM is 131.94
