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:
- High Cutting Precision – Ensures consistent and accurate fabric sample size for reliable GSM results.
- Effortless Operation- Hydraulic action reduces manual effort and operator fatigue.
- Ideal for Thick or Multi-Layer Fabrics – Cuts through dense or multiple fabric layers cleanly.
- Time-Saving – Speeds up the sample preparation process, especially for high-volume testing.
- Improves Test Accuracy – Uniform samples help eliminate errors in GSM calculation.
- Durable and Long-Lasting – Robust construction ensures stability and extended service life.
- Safety Enhancement – Reduces risk of injury compared to manual rotary cutters.
- Consistent Pressure Application – Hydraulic mechanism maintains steady force for each cut.
Features of Hydraulic GSM Cutter:
- Hydraulic Press Mechanism – Applies consistent and strong pressure for clean, even cuts.
- Standard Cutting Die (100 cm²) – Produces fabric samples suitable for GSM testing with standard area.
- Heavy-Duty Construction – Built with robust metal frame for long-term lab or industrial use.
- Sharp Stainless Steel Blades – Durable and replaceable blades ensure smooth, precise cuts.
- Cutting Pad Included – Comes with a rubber or nylon base to protect blades and ensure clean edges.
- Simple Lever or Button Operation – Easy to use with minimal training required.
- Non-slip Base – Provides stability during operation for safe, accurate cutting.
- Supports Various Fabric Types
– Suitable for woven, knitted, nonwoven, technical textiles, and coated fabrics.
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

Fabric Drape Tester
Fabric Drape Tester is a lab device used to measure the drape ability of fabric—how it hangs under its own weight. It assesses how fabric conforms in folds or waves, which affects garment appearance and comfort. Purpose of Fabric Drape Tester: To evaluate the aesthetic and functional behavior of a fabric when suspended, especially important in apparel and home textiles. Working Principle: A circular fabric specimen is placed over a smaller disc. The unsupported edges drape downward. A light source casts a shadow of the draped shape onto a recording surface or scanner. The area of the shadow is measured to calculate the drape coefficient. Main Components of Fabric Drape Tester: - Rotating Support Disc: Holds the fabric. - Light Source: Projects the drape shadow. - Paper or Digital Scanner: Captures the drape outline. - Template: For cutting fabric to standard test size. - Software or Plan meter: Calculates the drape coefficient. Applications of Fabric Drape Tester: - Fashion and apparel design - Fabric development - Quality control in woven, knitted, or nonwoven fabrics Benefits of Fabric Drape Tester:- Quantifies Fabric Flow - Measures drape behavior accurately, crucial for garments and furnishings.
- Supports Design Decisions - Helps designers select fabrics that match the intended look and movement of a product.
- Improves Garment Fit and Comfort - Ensures fabrics behave naturally on the body, enhancing wear ability.
- Enhances Product Aesthetics - Prevents stiff or limp fabric choices in fashion, interior, or technical textiles.
- Standardized Evaluation - Enables comparison across fabrics using drape coefficient, based on standards (e.g., BS 5058).
- Supports R&D - Useful in developing new fabrics or finishes to improve drape quality.
- Non-Destructive Testing - Tests fabric without damaging it, allowing for further analysis.
- Boosts Quality Control - Identifies batch inconsistencies or performance issues early in production.
- Rotating Support Disc - Holds the fabric sample over a smaller disc to create natural drape.
- Standard Sample Size Support - Designed for circular fabric samples, usually 30 cm in diameter.
- Light Projection System - Projects the draped fabric’s shadow onto a screen or recording surface.
- Drape Coefficient Calculation - Measures the shadow area to compute the drape coefficient (percentage of unsupported area covered by the shadow).
- Digital or Manual Options - Available in models with digital image processing or manual plan meter tracing.
- Stable Base and Structure - Ensures consistent and vibration-free testing conditions.
- Sample Templates Provided - For cutting precise, standard-sized fabric specimens.
- User-Friendly Interface - Simple controls for rotation and light alignment.
- Compact and Lab-Ready Design - Fits easily on lab benches and in testing environments.
- Compliance with Testing Standards - Supports BS 5058 and other relevant drape measurement methods.
- Prepare the Fabric Sample - Cut a circular fabric sample, typically 30 cm in diameter, using the provided template.
- Place the Fabric - Center the fabric sample over the smaller support disc (usually 18 cm diameter) on the tester.
- Turn on the Light Source - Illuminate the fabric from above so it casts a shadow onto the recording surface or paper below.
- Capture the Shadow Outline - Trace the shadow manually on paper or capture it digitally, depending on the model.
- Measure the Shadow Area - Use a plan meter (manual) or software (digital) to determine the shadow’s area.
