GSM Indicator

The document describes a GSM indicator, which is a device that accurately measures the basis weight or grams per square meter (GSM) of various substrates like paper, board, film, and aluminum foil. It consists of a stainless steel template of a known size area and a digital balance. Several models are described that differ in measurement range, template size, accuracy, display features, and power source. The device works by weighing a sample of known area and calculating the GSM by multiplying the weight reading.

GSM Indicator

Confirms to TAPPI
GSM Indicator / Substance Indicator
An equipment to accurately measure the basis weight (mass) of any substrate to display the reading directly in
GSM with high accuracy.
Suitable for Paper / Board / Film / Laminate / Aluminum Foils, etc.

Background / Principle :
The weight (in grams) of a substrate of 1 sq. Mtr area is its GSM (Grams per Sq. Mtr)
Hence, the simplest method of GSM measurement is to cut a square piece of 1 meter x 1 meter and take its
actual weight.
However, many times it is neither possible nor feasible to prepare and weigh such a large sample size. Hence
the second best method of GSM measurement is to weigh a smaller sample (of known area) and multiply the
reading by a suitable factor to give you the GSM.
Hence a GSM Indicator is a combination of a Stainless Steel Template (of known / size area) and an accurate
weighing instrument (digital balance)
