How to Calculate the Fabric GSM with GSM Round Cutter?

GSM stands for grams per sq meter of fabric weight. GSM is a crucial statistic for determining the quality of a knitted fabric. The weight of the knitted fabric is used to determine its production. Calculating the GSM of fabric will help you to get assured about the quality of knitted fabric. You can easily conduct this test with the help of a grammage kit. Presto grammage checking kit comprises of different testing instruments that comprise of Digital GSM weighing balance and GSM round cutter. You can easily make use of this grammage kit to make sure that the right value of GSM will be obtained with the help of this lab testing instrument.

GSM round cutters are used to properly calculate the GSM (Grams per square meter) of any fabric by cutting the specimen accurately. It is a widely used and simple to use GSM testing tool found in almost every knitwear manufacturing firm. Here in this blog, we will discuss the GSM round cutter and how this lab testing equipment is best to be used in the fabric industry.

Why it is important to cut the specimen accurately for calculating the GSM?

The GSM Cutter is a textile testing machine that uses a weighing scale and a GSM pad to determine fabric GSM. This fabric sample cutter helps to evaluate the product quality by cutting the specimen in a circular shape. If the specimen will be cut precisely, then you will be able to get highly accurate testing results. Thus, this GSM round cutter plays an important role in cutting the specimen accurately with its sharp blades. You will easily get the specimen cut with the measurements of 100cm2 which is exactly 1 / 100th of a square meter.

The result you will get in grams when multiplied by 100, will give you the accurate GSM value. Presto is India's largest and most well-known producer of high-quality GSM Cutters, as well as a world-renowned supplier of lab testing tools not just in India but worldwide.

This grammage tester will help to make sure that you will get an accurate cutting of specimen with its lightweight structure. This lab testing equipment will make sure that the specimen will be cut precisely even under light pressure. You will get smooth edges of the specimen when it will be cut with the help of this lab testing instrument.
