How many ounces is 180 gsm for knit fabric?

Answer 1

To calculate the number of ounces in a 180gsm of knit fabric, some english/metric conversions need to be made.

First off, we have an abbreviation: "gsm" which means 'grams per square meter'. I'm going to guess that you are looking for how many ounces would be in that square meter, if it weighed 180 grams.

So, you need to convert grams into ounces. That formula is that there are 28.35grams per ounce. Therefore, divide 180 by 28.35 and you will get an answer of: 5.79 ounces. But that would be 5.79oz per square meter. It might be a better measurement if you had the number of ounces per square yard.

To convert 5.79oz per square meter to an ounces per square yard, we will need to convert square meters to square yards. There are approximately 1.2 square yards in a square meter. Therefore, we will need to multiply 5.79 ounces by 1.2 square yards, to get ounces per square yard. That number will be approximately 6.95.

So, we now find that 180grams per square meter, converts into 6.95 ounces per square yard. or by dividing by square feet (there are 9square feet in a yard), you would have approximately 0.77ounces per square foot of knitted fabric.
