Engineering Calculation

Fabric GSM Calculator - from Cut Sample or Construction

Find fabric weight in grams per square metre from a cut sample, or estimate it from the woven construction, and convert to oz/yd² or g/m.

Open the calculator →

Formula

GSM = sample weight (g) / sample area (m²)

With a 100 cm² GSM cutter: GSM = sample weight (g) × 100

Worked example

100 cm² sample weighs 1.45 g

GSM = 1.45 × 100 = 145 g/m²
