To calculate the Grams Per Square Meter (GSM):
For Text Paper:
\[ \text{GSM} = X \times 1.481 \]
For Cover Paper:
\[ \text{GSM} = X \times 2.707 \]
Where:
A paperweight conversion is a term often used to describe the conversion of the weight of paper in pounds to grams per square meter of paper. This is not a strict weight-to-weight conversion. Instead, this is a weight-to-weight per area conversion. The formulas used above for this conversion assume standard paper sizes.
Given:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{GSM} = 20 \times 1.481 = 29.62 \text{ g/m}^2 \]
The Grams Per Square Meter (GSM) for text paper is 29.62 g/m2.
Given:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{GSM} = 15 \times 2.707 = 40.61 \text{ g/m}^2 \]
The Grams Per Square Meter (GSM) for cover paper is 40.61 g/m2.
