What is gsm in non woven fabric

Jun 26, 2024

GSM, or "grams per square meter," is a technical term used to quantify the weight of a fabric. In short, it indicates the weight of a fabric per square meter of area. This metric is particularly critical in the textile industry, especially in the quality assessment of nonwovens and other types of textiles, used to describe their density and thickness.

When the GSM value is high, it means that the fabric is relatively heavy and generally thicker; conversely, a low GSM value means that the fabric is relatively light and thin. This data is crucial to determine whether a fabric is suitable for a specific application scenario, such as medical supplies, filtration equipment, and packaging materials. All fields need to choose the appropriate GSM value according to actual needs.
