The weight of fabric is an important indicator of fabric style. It is often the target value of fabric design and an important parameter in fabric price calculation. Therefore, fabric weight is an important parameter for manufacturers and operators. issue of great concern.
So what is the unit for measuring fabric weight?
1
Microgram weight (g/ m)
It means the weight in grams of one meter of fabric.
This weight value downplays the impact of door width on weight. If other fabric specifications other than door width are the same Of the two fabrics, the one with a wider door width has a larger gram weight value, while the one with a narrow door width has a smaller gram weight value. Therefore, this measurement method cannot intuitively reflect the weight and thickness of the fabric.
When using meter weight (g/m) to reflect the weight of the fabric, the width of the fabric must be additionally stated so that Get a clearer understanding of fabric thickness, usage range, etc.
2
Square weight (g/㎡)
It means the weight in grams of one square meter of fabric.
This measurement method stipulates the area of the fabric. On the basis of the same area, the value directly reflects the weight and weight of the fabric. Thickness, the larger the value, the thicker the fabric. The smaller the value, the lighter and thinner the fabric, which is more intuitive and is the most commonly used unit of measurement to express fabric weight.
Square gram weight = meter gram weight/fabric width
3
Moomi (m/m)
For pure silk fabrics, there is a customary unit of measurement called mmi (m/m), and the mmi value is used to classify thin fabrics, medium or medium thickness Type fabrics, heavy fabrics, etc.
It is generally considered that fabrics below 14m/m are light and thin fabrics, 14~28m/m are medium-thick fabrics, and 28m/m The above is a heavyweight fabric.
There is a conversion relationship between mm (m/m) and square meter weight (g/ m 2), and its calculation The method is mmi (m/m) = square meter weight (gram/square meter, g/ m 2)/4.3056
This weight unit is not used on water-jet loom fabrics with synthetic fibers as the main raw material.
