What is Fabric Weight?

Fabric grammage refers to the weight of a fabric per unit area and is usually stated in grams per square metre (gr/m² or GSM - Grams per Square Meter). Grammage in meters (gr/m) indicates the weight of 1 metre length of the fabric over its standard width. This value varies depending on factors such as the density of the fabric's texture, the type and number of threads used.

Grammage is an important quality parameter that directly affects the cost, performance and usage areas of textile products. For example, fabrics with higher grammages are generally thicker, more durable and have a tougher structure, while fabrics with lower grammages are lighter and thinner.

How to Calculate Fabric Weight?

Basically, fabric grammage is calculated by measuring the weight of a fabric sample of a known area or length.

Square Meter Grammage (gr/m²) = (Sample Weight (gr) / (Sample Length (cm) * Sample Width (cm))) * 10000

Weight per metre (gr/m) = Weight per square metre (gr/m²) * (Fabric Width (cm) / 100)

Fabric width is critical in calculating the weight per metre because it represents the weight of 1 metre of fabric in that standard width.

Application Areas:

  • Cost Calculation: Determining the cost of the fabric per square meter or meter.
  • Production Planning: Estimating how much fabric will be required for a particular product.
  • Quality Control: Checking whether the produced fabric complies with the specified standards.
  • Product Design: Adjusting the weight and handle properties of products such as clothing or home textiles.
  • Import/Export: In commercial transactions, fabric is specified in standard weight units.
