CALCULATION OF GSM

Learn Apparel Merchandising, Learn Fashion design.
Dear All,

GSM means the weight in gram per square meter of fabric.GSM is a very important parameter for specified a certain quality of knitted fabric. The production of knitted fabric is calculated in weight. The GSM cutter is very popular and easy usable GSM testing instrument used in most knitted factory. But the construction of this cutter is very simple. It is circular disk of 100 square cm area with sharp blade attached to its edge. So 100 square cm of fabric can easily cut by it and weighted at the electric balance to get GSM reading.


There are two formulas for calculating the GSM of a knitted fabric


First formula is as under:


               Course per inch X Stitch length X 39.37 X 39.37 X Tex
GSM =    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
                                               1000 X 1000

aNd

                WPI X CPI X SL(mm)
GSM =    ----------------------------- X 0.9155
                         Count(Ne)



CALCULATION OF WALES PER INCH (WPI):

We calculated the number of Wales in 10 inch fabric unraveling the yarn. Then we divide the no of total Wales by 10 inch to getting the Wales per inch.


CALCULATION OF COURSE PER INCH (CPI):

We calculated the number of course in five inch with the help of counting glass and needle. Then we divide the total no of course by five inch to getting the course per inch.


MEASUREMENT OF STITCH LENGTH (SL mm):

Stitch length is theoretically a single length of yarn which includes one needle loop and adjacent needle loops on either side of it. Loop exits in course in course length and it is that which influence fabric dimension and other properties including weight.

In order to determine the stitch length, we count 100 no Wales or stitch and count its length by hanging the yarn on the stitch counter. The reading is found in mm unit.



MEASUREMENT OF YARN COUNT:

We have fallowed a different way to find out the count of the yarn. At first we unravel a considerable no yarn from the fabric. Then we measured the total length of the yarn and measured the weight of that no of yarn. From these weights, we find out the count of the yarn.

The equation we followed is as follow:

                 N x L x 453.6
Count =   ----------------
                 Wt x 36 x 840
Where,

N   = number of yarn in bundle.
L    = length of yarn.
Wt  = weight of yarn.




Another formula is the following:

                    Ks x Tex
GSM =   ---------------------
              Stitch length (mm)


Where,
Ks is a constant. Its value is different for different fabric structure and fabric type. Ks is calculated and estimated as below:

              GSM x Stitch length
Ks =     -----------------------------
                          Tex

    3. But Enamul and Ziyaur... is Yard is not depend on fabric width... Like if have 44 width fabric is different yard in 1 KG and 62 width of fabric is different yard in 1 KG even both weight will be 160 G/SM...

      Delete
    4. Enamul and ziyur... i think yard should be very depends on fabric width...
      like 160 gsm .. yard will be different in 44" width and 62" width of fabric... pls. elaborate

  6. vaiya ...my question is same fabric length 10m and width 68 inch gsm 200 how will be the kg of this fabric

    1. 10.93*200*68*36/1550*1000=3.452kg.First of all converted m to yard then gsm then fabric width (converted inch to yard) and divided by 1550*1000..This one shortcut formulae to find out gsm to kg...

  20. You've presumably caught wind of skimming however I'm expounding on it in light of the fact that the issue is deteriorating and there's most likely a great deal regarding the matter that you don't realize that could make open doors for cheats. skimmer for sale

  21. To neutralize the previously mentioned cell misrepresentation and to make cell phone traffic secure partially, GSM (Global System for Mobile correspondence or Group Special Mobile) is one of the numerous arrangements presently out there. gsm skimmer
