The GSM Cutter is a textile testing instrument which is used for measuring fabric GSM with the aid of a weighing scale and GSM pad. The GSM cutter is a circular fabric sample cutter. With this instrument, a uniform circular fabric is cut without measuring. Area of the fabric specimen cut by GSM cutter is 100 square centimeter areas. The instrument is equipped with a set of four replaceable blades and normal cutting pads.
To measure the fabric gsm accurately GSM cutter is useful. Fabric gsm is one of the important fabric qualities, based on which fabric costing and fabric quality, is determined. A GSM cutter can be used for cutting fabric specimen for any types of fabrics for checking the fabric weight.
The formula for measuring fabric GSM with this GSM cutter:

The accessories of GSM Cutter:
1. GSM Pad
2. GSM Weighing Scale of 0.01 to 500 grams
Features of typical GSM Cutter:
- Cutting are 100 Square Centimetres, which is exactly 1 / 100th of a square meter
- The depth of cutting up to 5mm.
- Special finishes for contacting surfaces to avoid of specimen slippage.
The weight of the circular fabric specimen is in grams. The resulted weight (grams) of the specimen is multiplied by 100 to get the weight in grams per square meter (GSM).
The formula for measuring fabric GSM with this GSM cutter:
Grams per square meter (GSM) = (Specimen weight in grams x 100)
Application of GSM Cutter in Textile and Apparel Industry
- In consumers textile testing labs
- In the in-house testing labs of the garment factories and textile mills
- In fabric stores of the garment factory and fabric retail stores
