GSM stands for grams per square meter, and it is a unit of measurement used to determine the weight or density of non-woven fabric. It indicates the amount of material (in grams) present in a square meter of the fabric.
GSM is an important parameter in non-woven fabrics as it provides an indication of the fabric’s thickness, strength, and overall quality. Fabrics with higher GSM values are generally thicker, denser, and stronger, while fabrics with lower GSM values are lighter and less dense.
GSM is commonly used in the textile industry to classify and compare different types of fabrics, including non-woven fabrics. It helps manufacturers and consumers understand the characteristics and performance of the fabric, and it plays a role in determining the suitability of the fabric for various applications.
Thanks for your Post. GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter(g/m2). It is the weight of the fabric if you take a sheet of material which is one meter by one meter square and weigh it in grams. It is a bench mark specification to meet production manufacturing requirements.
