    GSM Cutter with Balance

      A GSM Cutter with Balance is a lab toolset used to determine the GSM (Grams per Square Meter) of fabrics, which indicates the fabric's weight and density. The kit includes a GSM round cutter and a precision weighing balance.   Purpose GSM Cutter with Balance: To accurately measure the weight per unit area of textile, paper, or nonwoven samples for quality control and product classification.   How It Works: GSM Cutter: - A circular blade cuts a fixed area (usually 100 cm²) from the fabric. Weighing Balance: - The cut piece is weighed, and the result is multiplied by 100 to get GSM. GSM = Weight (in grams) × 100   Applications of GSM Cutter with Balance: Textile and garment industry Nonwovens and paper manufacturing QC labs and R&D   Benefits of GSM Cutter with Balance: Accurate GSM Measurement - Ensures precise fabric weight analysis for quality control. Quick and Simple Operation - Allows fast sampling and GSM calculation in minutes. No Need for Area Calculation - Cutter gives a fixed area (usually 100 cm²), simplifying the formula. Improves Product Consistency - Helps maintain uniform fabric weight across batches.   Portable and User-Friendly - Compact design makes it ideal for labs and production floors. Cost-Effective Tool - Offers high accuracy without the need for expensive equipment. Versatile Use - Suitable for fabrics, paper, leather, films, and more.   Features of GSM Cutter with Balance: Rotary Blade Cutter - Stainless steel blades for clean and accurate circular cuts. Fixed Sample Area - Typically 100 cm², eliminating the need for area measurement. Precision Digital Balance   - Measures in grams with high resolution (0.01 g or better).   Rubber Cutting Pad - Protects blade and provides a smooth surface for cutting. Safety Lock - Prevents accidental blade exposure. Compact & Durable Design- Long-lasting, lab-friendly construction.   How to Use GSM Cutter with Balance: Prepare the Fabric Sample- Place the fabric on the rubber cutting pad. Cut the Sample - Hold the GSM cutter firmly and rotate it to cut a 100 cm² circular sample. Turn on the Balance - Power up the digital weighing scale and tare it to zero.   Weigh the Sample - Place the cut fabric piece on the balance and note the weight in grams. Calculate GSM - Multiply the weight by 100 to get GSM.  - GSM = Sample weight (g) × 100 Record the Result- Log the GSM value for quality control or analysis. Clean and Store - Wipe the cutter and balance, and store them safely after use.   GSM Calculation Formula: GSM (g/m²) = (Weight of Sample in grams) × 100 When using a GSM cutter (100 cm²): The cutter gives a fixed area of 100 cm², which is 1/100th of a square meter. So, multiplying the sample's weight by 100 gives the GSM directly. Example: If the sample weighs 1.75 g, then: GSM = 1.75 × 100 = 175 g/m²   Balance Calibration Guide (Manual Calibration): Warm-Up   - Turn on the balance and let it warm up for 10–15 minutes if required. Level the Balance   - Use the built-in bubble level and adjust leveling feet until the bubble is centered. Tare the Balance   - Press the “TARE” or “ZERO” button to reset the display to 0.000 g.   Enter Calibration Mode   - Press the “CAL” or “MODE” button (depends on the model). - Some balances may require holding the button for a few seconds. Use Standard Weight   - When prompted, place a certified calibration weight (e.g., 100g, 200g) on the pan.   - Wait for the display to stabilize.   Confirm Calibration   - The balance will beep or show “PASS” once successful.   - Remove the weight when done. Recheck Zero  - Ensure the display returns to 0.000 g after removing the weight.   Tips: Use certified weights for accuracy (Class F1 or E2). Calibrate in a draft-free, vibration-free environment. Calibrate daily or before critical measurements.     GSM Cutter  & Balance GSM Cutter Brand: Schroder Origin: Germany Capacity: 100 Sq.cm Supplied with 1 pcs cutting Pad and 04 pcs cutting blade.
