Unit for measuring fabric weight:
Gram 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 two fabrics have the same specifications and parameters other than door width,the gram weight value of the wider door width will be larger,and the gram weight value of the narrow door width will be smaller,so this measurement method cannot intuitively reflect the weight and thickness of the fabric.
When using gram weight (g/m) to reflect the weight of a fabric,the width of the fabric must be additionally stated in order to have a clearer understanding of the fabric’s thickness,range of use,etc.
Square gram weight (g/㎡):It means the weight of one square meter of fabric in grams.
This measurement method stipulates the area of the fabric.On the basis of the same area,the value directly reflects the weight and thickness of the fabric.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 the weight of fabrics.
Square gram weight=meter gram weight/fabric door width
Momi (m/m):For all-silk fabrics, there is a customary unit of measurement called Momi (m/m),and the Momi value is used to classify thin fabrics,medium or medium-thick fabrics, and heavy fabrics.pounds of fabric,etc.It is generally considered that fabrics below 14m/m are light fabrics,14-28m/m are medium-thick fabrics, and fabrics above 28m/m are heavy fabrics.
There is a conversion relationship between mmi (m/m) and square meter weight (g/m 2).The calculation method is mmi (m/m) = square meter weight (g/m2, g/m 2 )/4.3056
This weight unit is not used on water-jet loom fabrics whose main raw material is synthetic fiber.
