How to Measure Fabric weight of Big quantity

To know the fabric’s weight

For measuring fabric weight in large quantity we can follow the following way which now I am going to present for you. Wish it will be helpful for you who are related to textile. After reading this article you will have a proper idea of how to measure fabric weight of big quantity.

Usually, we measure GSM (Gram per square meter) by GSM cutter.

• We can get GSM by fabrics construction also. Let’s try to get GSM of the following construction:

(20 × 16/128 × 60) twill.

We know,

GSM	= {(EPI/Warp count) + (PPI/ Weft count)} × 25.64
Here ,    EPI	= 128
PPI	= 60
Warp count	= 20
Weft count	= 16

So GSM will be = {(128/20) + (60/ 16)} × 25.64

=260 GSM

• Then you can get GLM (Grams per linear meter) via GSM.

GLM	= ( GSM × fabric width)/39.37
When
GSM	= 260
Width	= 58
GLM	= (260 × 58)/39.37
	=383

So 500-meter fabrics total weight = GLM × Fabric quantity.

	= (383 × 500 m) (here fabric quantity = 500m)
	=191500 grams
	=191500/1000 Kg.
	=191.5 kg.

So, this is the way how we can measure fabric weight by the known GSM of this fabric. If you have any question related this post never hesitate to ask me.
