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.

Fabric Moisture Permeability Tester
Fabric Moisture Permeability Tester
A Fabric Moisture Permeability Tester, also known as a Water Vapor Permeability Tester, is a laboratory instrument designed to measure the rate at which water vapor passes through textile materials. This measurement is crucial for assessing the breathability and comfort of fabrics, especially those used in active wear, outdoor gear, medical textiles, and protective clothing. Purpose of Fabric Moisture Permeability Tester The primary function of this tester is to evaluate a fabric's ability to allow moisture vapor to pass through it, which directly impacts the wearer's comfort by facilitating sweat evaporation and thermal regulation. High moisture permeability indicates better breathability, making the fabric suitable for applications where moisture management is essential. Working Principle of Fabric Moisture Permeability Tester The tester operates by placing a fabric specimen over a container filled with water. Under controlled temperature and humidity conditions, water vapor passes through the fabric over a specified period. The amount of water vapor transmitted is determined by measuring the weight loss of the container, allowing for the calculation of the Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR). Common Testing Methods- Upright Cup Method: The fabric covers a cup containing water, and the assembly is placed upright in a controlled environment. After a set duration, the weight loss is measured to determine the WVTR.
- Inverted Cup Method: The fabric is sealed over a cup, which is then inverted and exposed to a controlled environment. The amount of water vapor absorbed by the fabric is measured over time.
- Sweating Hot Plate Test: Simulates human perspiration by measuring the energy required to maintain a constant temperature on a heated plate covered with the fabric, providing insights into the fabric's breathability.
- Multi-Cup Design - Typically includes 6 or more test cups for simultaneous testing of multiple samples.
- Rotating Turntable - Ensures uniform air exposure and consistent vapor transmission across all samples.
- Precision Weighing System- Accurate measurement of weight loss to calculate water vapor transmission rate (WVTR).
- Temperature & Humidity Control - Maintains stable environmental conditions (e.g., 23°C, 50% RH) for reliable results.
- Digital Display or Software Interface - Displays real-time data and test status; advanced models offer data logging and export.
- Compliance with Standards - Supports ASTM E96, ISO 15496, BS 7209, JIS L1099 testing methods.
- Sealed Test Chambers- Prevents external air interference, improving accuracy.
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction - Durable materials suitable for long-term use in lab environments.
- Easy Sample Mounting - Quick and secure fabric placement on test cups with sealing rings.
- Low Maintenance Design- Simplified components for easy cleaning and upkeep.
- Prepare the Test Solution - Fill each test cup with a set amount of water (e.g., 50 ml), or a desiccant if using inverted method.
- Mount the Fabric - Cut the fabric into circular pieces matching the cup size.
- Weigh the Cups - Record the initial weight of each cup with the fabric mounted.
- Place on Turntable - Position all cups on the rotating tray inside the controlled chamber.
- Set Conditions - Close the chamber and maintain temperature (e.g., 23°C) and relative humidity (e.g., 50%) as per test standard.
- Start the Test - Begin rotation (usually ~2 RPM) and let it run for the specified time (often 24 hours).
- Weigh the Cups Again- After the test duration, reweigh the cups to determine weight loss due to moisture vapor passing through the fabric. Calculate WVTR - Use the formula: WVTR = (Weight Loss in grams × 24) / (Test Area in m² × Time in hours) Expressed in g/m²/24h.Clean and Store - Clean cups and components for future use.
