MM to GSM Calculator

Calculate GSM from Thickness in MM



Formula

The formula to calculate the GSM is:

\[ GSM = \text{Thickness (mm)} \times \text{Density (g/cm³)} \times 1000 \]

Where:

What is GSM?

GSM stands for grams per square meter and is a standard unit of measurement for the weight of paper and fabric materials. A higher GSM indicates a heavier and typically thicker material. It is an important specification for quality control in manufacturing and purchasing of paper and textile products.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Using the formula to calculate the GSM:

\[ GSM = 0.2 \times 0.8 \times 1000 = 160 \text{ g/m²} \]

This means that the GSM for this example is 160 g/m².
