How to Use This Calculator
- Enter Weight Value, Input Unit, and GSM (g/m²).
- Set oz/yd², oz/linear yard, and Fabric Width.
- Review the GSM (g/m²) result.
- Use kg/m² and oz/yd² to inform your decision.
- Use the chart to visualize the results and explore different scenarios by adjusting inputs.
How the result changes with Weight Value
| Weight Value | GSM (g/m²) |
|---|---|
| 200 | 200 |
| 700 | 700 |
| 1,300 | 1,300 |
| 1,800 | 1,800 |
What each input means
- Weight Value
- The fabric weight value to convert
- Input Unit
- The unit of the input weight value
- Fabric Width
- Fabric width in inches (needed for linear yard conversion)
How this is calculated
Worked example, using the default values
- Identify Input ParametersWeight Value = 200, Input Unit = 0, Fabric Width = 60 = 3 input(s) provided
- Calculate GSMGSM = gPerSqM200 = 200
- Calculate kg/m²kg/m²0.2 = 0.2
- Calculate oz/yd²oz/yd²5.9 = 5.9
