GSM Cutter

GSM Cutter:

GSM means gram by square meter, and the weight of the textile which includes both knit, woven and non-woven is the designation, as the name implies. It’s a basic tool used to cut a tissue sample for the measurement of the gsm of the textile. The measurement of the fabric is 11.2 cm in diameter. The sample shall be measured and computed for GSM after cutting.

Specification:

• Diameter of sample cut is 113 mm

• Area of Sample cut is 100 cm2

• Catch lock is provided for safety.

• Diamond shape knurling on bottom for proper grip to the fabric.

• 2 Nos. Special quality GSM pad is proved for support while cutting.

• Machine is equipped with 4 nos. of replaceable German Blade, and 4 Nos. (1 Set) extra blade is supplied with machine.

• One Screw Driver is supplied for Opening/Tilting of blades.

• Movement of Hand Wheel is 1/4 round to cut a sample.

Working Procedure:

• The woven, knit, denim fabric with the GSM cutter should be cut at first.

• The textiles are grosser, and fabrics are completely coarser than the tissues. We use scissors here to cut the tissue

• Maintain the weight of the tissue in the electric balance machine after completely cutting the tissue.

How to Calculate Fabric GSM by GSM Cutter:

• · Cut the fabric with the GSM cutter (gram per square inch).

• · Weight the fabric with the electric balance.

• · The cut sample is 100 sq. cm. The weight of the cut sample is multiplied by 100.

• · The result is the GSM of that particular fabric.

• · For accuracy test with multiple (e.g. 5 samples) samples and calculate average GSM.

How to Calculate Fabric GSM by CALCULATION:

• · GSM = Weight 10,000 / (Length Width)
