Hydraulic GSM Cutter
A Hydraulic GSM Cutter is a precision instrument used to cut circular fabric samples for GSM (Grams per Square Meter) testing. It uses hydraulic pressure to ensure clean, uniform cuts through multiple fabric layers, making it ideal for high-throughput or thicker materials.
Purpose of Hydraulic GSM Cutter:
– To prepare accurate circular samples (usually 100 cm² area) for determining fabric weight in GSM.
– Used widely in textile testing labs for quality control and consistency.
Working Principle of Hydraulic GSM Cutter:
– Fabric is placed on a cutting pad.
– The cutter, equipped with a sharp circular blade, is hydraulically pressed down on the fabric.
– The cut sample is then weighed to calculate GSM using a formula or GSM scale.
Applications of Hydraulic GSM Cutter:
– Suitable for woven, knitted, and nonwoven fabrics.
– Used in textile mills, labs, and R&D centers.
Benefits of Hydraulic GSM Cutter:

How to Use Hydraulic GSM Cutter:
- Place the Cutting Pad – Lay the rubber or nylon cutting pad on a flat surface.
- Position the Fabric – Place the fabric sample flat and smooth on the cutting pad.
- 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
