Grammage Checking Kit

Grammage is a major aspect of quality for many different materials such as fabrics, paper, corrugated boards, cardboards etc. The grammage is used for testing the properties, quality and strength of a material. With correct evaluation of the GSM, the manufacturers can easily determine the requirements for processing of the materials.

GSM Cutter:

The GSM cutter is a competent instrument that is used for accurate cutting of a circular disc from the test sample. This circular disk serves as a test specimen to find out the GSM of the sample. There are four knives that are highly sharp and cut the circular disc of a 100 cm² area. To operate the instrument, the sample is placed between the cutting board and cutter. After the placement of the cutter, the knob of the cutter is rotated clockwise this gives a perfectly shaped circular disc with accurate dimensions.

Digital GSM Balance:

After the specimen is cut from the sample, it is weighed using a highly accurate and sensitive digital GSM balance which gives an accurate measurement of GSM of the products. The instrument is provided with a digital display which eventually provides the readings directly in GSM. No further calculation is needed.
