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 Stiffness Tester
Fabric Stiffness Tester
Fabric Stiffness Tester is a lab instrument used to measure the stiffness or flexural rigidity of fabric materials. It evaluates how resistant a fabric is to bending, which influences its drape, comfort, and handling characteristics. Purpose of Fabric Stiffness Tester: To determine the stiffness of textiles by measuring the bending length and calculating flexural rigidity, often using methods like the Cantilever Test (as per ASTM D1388 or ISO 9073-7).

Fastness Rotary Friction Tester
Fastness Rotary Friction Tester
A Fastness Rotary Friction Tester, also known as a Rotary Crock meter, is a specialized instrument used to evaluate the color fastness of textiles and materials when subjected to rotational rubbing. This test simulates the wear and friction that fabrics experience during use, helping manufacturers assess the durability of dyes and finishes. Purpose of Fastness Rotary Friction Tester The primary function of the Fastness Rotary Friction Tester is to determine how well a fabric's color withstands rubbing, both in dry and wet conditions. This is crucial for ensuring the longevity and appearance of textiles in real-world applications, such as clothing, upholstery, and footwear. Working Principle of Fastness Rotary Friction Tester The tester operates by applying a specified pressure to a fabric sample using a standardized rubbing finger covered with a test cloth. The rubbing finger performs a set number of rotational movements (typically 1.125 turns clockwise followed by 1.125 turns counterclockwise) over the fabric surface. After the test, the degree of color transfer to the test cloth and any changes in the fabric's appearance are evaluated against standardized gray scales. Common Testing Standards - AATCC 116: Colorfastness to Crocking: Rotary Vertical Crock meter Method. ISO 105 X16: Textiles—Tests for color fastness—Part X16: Color fastness to rubbing—small areas. - SATRA TM8: Color fastness to rubbing.
