There are so many different classifications of paper, that it's best to get a chart or table, like the one at Micro Format's paper-paper.com. I posted a link.
Each type (class) of paper has a different 'basis weight' that is used to calculate it's 'weight'. Example 20# bond paper like you'd buy to run in your home printer or a copier. The 20 pounds is calculated based on 500 sheets of 17" x 22" paper. For 500 sheets of letter size (8.5x11) 'weighs' 5 pounds. For 20# bond, the equivalent gsm is 75.2 Grams per Square Meter.
For offset or text-weight paper, 50 pound is also 75 gsm.
The link at Xerox that I posted has a PDF document which has a lot of useful information about paper. In the appendices, there is a chart for paper equivalent weights, as well as a chart of common paper sizes (Metric and American).

How do you convert GSM of a paper into MM?
Paper comes in many different sizes, so there is no set conversion. However, GSM stands for grams / square meter, so if the GSM and density of the paper is known, conversion becomes easier. The formula for the thickness then becomes: Thickness = GSM/density.

How do you calculate gsm in paper?
Take a paper of standard size. Measure its mass in gram using an electronic balance. Find its dimensions (length and breadth) in meter. Find the area in meter2. Get the gsm by dividing the mass in gram by area in meter2. Example: If the mass of a 42cmx33.5cm paper is 8.15gram then its gsm is 58 . (8.15/.42/.335 = 58) You will get more accurate results by using multiple sheets of paper. I usually use at least 10 sheets of paper, then you can either find the total area of the 10 sheets (multiply area of 1 sheet by 10), or divide the mass that you measured by 10, before doing the gsm calculation.
