GSM Cutter with Balance

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.
