how to calculate gsm of woven fabric
You’ve heard of a 50/50 or a 80/20 t-shirt. 50/50 means 50% cotton and 50% polyester or 80% cotton and 20% polyester, but have you ever seen the gsm listed and wondered what that meant? Simply put; that’s the weight of the fabric.
But first, it’s important to know that GSM also has some other acronyms that do mean the same; let’s start with those.
GSM (also known as gm/2) = grams per square meter and is the metric measurement of the weight of a fabric.
Metric measurements are generally the most common place but some clothing items are still marked in Imperial weights (OZ or oz/yd2 = ounces per yard squared)
The important thing to state here is that all of the terms above are measurements of weight, specifically the fabric weight when talking clothing. For example a t-shirt may be listed as 185gsm and another may be listed as 5.5oz the outcome is that these are basically the same as 5.5oz = 186gsm
You can work out any conversion of OZ & GSM by using the following calculation
5.5oz x 33.906 = 186.48gsm
185gsm / 33.906 = 5.45oz
fabric count & construction 30*30/124*64 then how to calculate fabric gsm fabric count and construction 16*16/112*122 what is the fabric gsm?
140 gsm finish gsm
140 gsm finish gsm
easy formula for calculate gsm as below, GSM= (EPI/Warp count*1.1)+(PPI/Weft count*1.04)*23.5
(epi/warp count+ppi/weft count)23.2,this is simple formulae for calculating gsm with count & construction.for glm -gsm*width of the fabric in cm
GSM stands for gram per square meter , when we go to purchase knitted fabric its not measured in meters , we always buy this fabric in KG;s , so when we send any quotation to buyers we always define amount of GSM in fabric, in Wovens we easily calculate in meters.
GSM is measured to set the price of a fabric
GSM = grams per square meter Cut a 1 meter by 1 meter of fabric and weigh it in grams or weigh the fabric in grams (G) and measure the length in meters (L) and width in meters (W) and calculate: G/LW = grams per square meter = GSM
width = 150 & gsm = 120 calculation : width x gsm/100 = glm 150 x 120/100 = 180
Easy formula for calculate gsm as below, GSM= (EPI/Warp count*1.1)+(PPI/Weft count*1.04)*23.5 Suppose: Fabric is 20x20/60x60 Calculate: (60/20x1.1)+(60/20x1.04)x23.5 =(3.3+3.12)x23.5=6.42x23.5=150.87 So, GSM is 150.87maximum Hopefully you get it.

{(Inseam + Back rise) * Thigh * 4} * GSM /1550 * 12/1000 = Kg/doz
Total weight of fabric = 1 sqr meter warp + 1 sqr meter weft Total weight of fabric = 60/20 x 25 + 60/20 x25Total weight of fabric = 150 GSM.60/20x25+60/30x25 Total weight of fabric =125 gsm
