Calculate GSM (w/o machine)

Learn Apparel Merchandising, Learn Fashion design.
Calculate GSM from the data given

Total Weight of fabric                 = 15.5 Kgs

Length of fabric                          = 35 meters

Width of fabric in open form      = 65 inches

Solution:

First we will calculate area of the fabric

Fabric length      = 35 meters

Fabric width      = 65 inches or 1.65 meters

Fabric area        = Length * width

                         =35 * 1.65

                         =57.75 meters square

Weight of 57.75  Meter square is 15.5 kgs or 15500 grams

 So weight of one square meter  

= 15500/57.75

= 268.39 grams per meter square of GSM of the fabric
