If there is sufficient interest or questions, I can write another part to cover other conversions and perhaps another section on how to do internal approval testing and limitations. I recommend sticking it in a plastic protector sheet, storing it in a binder or attached to a cork board and you are all set.

To make it easier for you, I’ve attached a table I made ( pdf 16kb) that shows conversion for the most common weights of 50 gsm to 689 gsm to oz/yd2. If you don’t like doing the math –I dislike doing calculations repeatedly– you may prefer to use tables to look things up. Rounded up to three decimal places it is 33.906.If it helps, this is what the formulas are based upon: To determine gsm from oz/yd2 you do the reverse – multiple by 33.906. There is an easy way to convert gsm to oz/yd2.ĭivide the gsm by 33.906 – really that is all. It is internationally understood (USA is one of the only countries not using metric system).Equipment is inexpensive and commonly available for use in measuring these units, even in office situations.

Metric is ISO standard units and used in ASTM D3776-07 Standard Test Methods for Mass Per Unit Area of fabric (that is the test method you be asking a material testing lab to run).

Gsm is the standard and I am not just saying this because I one of those weird people trained in new math and metric. * why in heaven’s name you would mix the two systems (imperial and metric) is beyond me but people do. In my experience, the two most common descriptions of weight were: So it is important to understand what unit is being measured and always, if in doubt, clarify and verify. For example, one mill told us the fabric was 14 oz and everyone assume it was per square yard when in fact it was per liner yard and ended up only weighing 12 oz/yd2. I would hesitate to suggest that fabrics were deliberately mislabeled to mislead people but based on what I’ve seen, I can’t say they weren’t either. I tested fabrics from Asia, the United States and Europe (Italy specifically) and I have run across many ways weight was described. It came in handy to save few rear ends during my time there so it is useful stuff to know (I‘d also like mention that I paid attention in design and economics too). Previously when I worked for a garment manufacturer, I was often working on fabric testing mostly because I paid attention in textile science class.

I make this distinction only because if you try and look up test methods to determine weight (fabric mass) you’ll not find it. Technically, both of these refer to “fabric mass”. If you’ve been confused with converting weights of fabrics, most often described as “grams per square meter” or “ounces per square yard”, this should help you. Her educational background is diverse mix of textile science, design and economics (sustainable development) which includes, in her opinion, far too much time in front of a HunterLab colorimeter. She has worked in the garment industry for both an importer and domestic producer. Today we have a guest entry from Jennifer Ennis.
