- Align the Cutter – Position the GSM cutter die over the desired area of the fabric.
- Activate Hydraulic Press – Pull the lever or press the button to apply hydraulic pressure and cut the sample.
- Remove the Sample – Lift the cutter and carefully take out the circular fabric piece (usually 100 cm²).
- Weigh the Sample – Place the cut sample on a precision balance or GSM scale to determine weight.
- Calculate GSM – Multiply the sample weight (in grams) by 100 to get GSM.
GSM Formula (Grams per Square Meter):
GSM is used to measure the weight of fabric and indicates its thickness and quality.
Formula:
GSM = (Sample Weight in grams × 10000) / Sample Area in cm²
For standard cutters that cut 100 cm² samples:
GSM = Sample Weight (in grams) × 100
Example:
– If a 100 cm² fabric sample weighs 1.5 grams:
GSM = 1.5 × 100 = 150 GSM

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.

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).
