Grammage or basis weight is a common term in the textile industry, which is one of the units of measurement for fabric. Grammage is an important criterion in purchasing fabric.
Grammage is actually the weight of one square meter of fabric in grams. To calculate the grammage of a fabric, a meter of fabric is cut into a meter in length and a meter in width, weighed, and the grammage is calculated.
The higher the number obtained, the greater the density and texture of the fabric, and the warmer the fabric will be. As the grammage decreases, the fabric becomes lighter and cooler.
Measuring the grammage of a fabric is a specialized task that is analyzed by textile engineers and specialists.
