GMS Round cutter is used to determine GSM (Grams per square meter) of any fabric (Woven, Non-woven, or knitted), paper, laminated films, Rexene, and Paper board. This instrument is found in every knitwear industry. In the fabric industry, all fabric quantities are large so the area and mass are not easily calculated so they used various lab instruments. GSM Round Cutter helps cut the fabric in the exact shape and size with the sharp edges of the blades. The quality of the material depends upon the fabric used by the manufacturer. If you want to check the grammage of fabric this instrument is a wiser choice it works accurately and rapidly within a given range of time.
Application
When the sample is a t-shirt then it has lower GSM which makes it more comfortable and wear in any season. If fabric is denim then its higher GSM that makes it heavy weight and tear and wear easily. When the fabric of tents, and outdoor fabric then it’s made more durable and survives in the rain, wind, and other climatic conditions, these fabrics have a higher GSM. Silk is delicate due to its softness and smooth texture. This fabric calculation of GSM is lighter than the fabric.
Process
Collect the sample and this sample should be in bulk and conditioning these fabrics through experienced workers. The sample should be flat wrinkles and creases not present in the fabric. Within a diameter of 11.2 cm through a GSM cutter machine. Weight the fabric measure and length and width 11.2 cm. Then it is easy to calculate the GSM of fabric Oz/yard2.
GSM Calculation Method
Different parts of fabric cut the 5 swatches through the GSM cutter. Now it’s time to measure the weighing of the fabric one by one method. Then calculate the average weight of the cutting fabric then easily calculate the GSM of the fabric. Calculation through formula made it more clear that product quality.
GSM Calculation Formula
GSM = (fabric weight in grams) / (fabric width in centimeters)
GSM for Paper
GSM is used to calculate the weight of paper if the weight of the paper is heavy then how much GSM of paper? For example- if the sample is taken as a greeting card then it needs to be weighed because that is free-standing as a display but if the sample of a poster is lighter it will be pasted on the wall. Thinner and thicker samples of paper have different GSM and easy calculation of cutting of paper.

GSM Round Cutter Tester is designed in a way that provides exact results without extra pressure on the material. GSM is not only used for fabric but various other products like paper, and knitted fabric as a testing instrument.
Its sharp blades move around a spindle or axle. Cutting depth of sample control with easy pressure applied with machine. As a round cut exerts pressure through the hand the machine will do its work and cut the material in an exact round shape.
This is the new product when comes into the market and makes the process accurate and precise. Within a few rotations instrument evaluation and cutting procedures can proceed easily.
Product quality can easily be evaluated through the GSM Round Cutter Machine. This cutter has good-quality blades that cut the fabric, and paper without any effort.

Q : What is a GSM round cutter used for?
A : This cutter is used to measure the GSM of any fabric whether this fabric is woven, unwoven, or knitted.
Q : How to calculate GSM by GSM cutter?
A : Weight of the product in grams then width in centimetres divide these widths and weight help to measure GSM. The higher the value of GSM the more durable fabric and quality of the paper also measure.
Q : What GSM is high quality?
A : Higher quality of product with higher value of GSM. For example- winter clothes and outwear are more dense and heavy in weight and are used in dense condition weather.
