GSM to Thickness Calculator

Input any two values from GSM, Density, and Thickness, and the calculator will compute the missing value using the relationship between them.

The GSM to Thickness Calculator is a versatile tool for converting between GSM (grams per square meter), material density, and thickness. This tool is ideal for industries such as printing, textiles, and manufacturing, where precision in material specifications is crucial. It simplifies complex unit conversions and ensures accurate results in practical applications.

Formula

\text{GSM} = \text{Density} \times \text{Thickness

Variable	Description	Unit Options
GSM	Grams per square meter of material	g/m², kg/m²
Density	Material density	g/cm³, kg/m³, lb/ft³
Thickness	Material thickness	µm, mm, in

Solved Calculations

Example 1: Calculate GSM
A material has a density of 1.2 g/cm³ and a thickness of 0.02 mm. Find the GSM.

Step	Value	Explanation
Step 1: Input	Density: 1.2 g/cm³, Thickness: 0.02 mm	Enter known values.
Step 2: Convert	Density: $1.2 \times 1000 = 1200 \$	Convert to base units.
Step 3: Apply	GSM = $1200 \times 0.02 = 24 \$	Use the formula.
Step 4: Result	$24 \, \text{g/m²}$	The GSM is 24 g/m².

Example 2: Calculate Thickness
A material has a GSM of 500 g/m² and a density of 1.4 g/cm³. Find its thickness in mm.

Step	Value	Explanation
Step 1: Input	GSM: 500 g/m², Density: 1.4 g/cm³	Enter known values.
Step 2: Convert	Density: $1.4 \times 1000 = 1400 \,$	Convert to base units.
Step 3: Apply	Thickness = $\frac{500}{1400} = 0.357$	Use the formula.
Step 4: Result	$0.357 \, \text{mm}$	The thickness is 0.357 mm.
