How do calculate Kg from Yards (Knit fabric)

Learn Apparel Merchandising, Learn Fashion design. 


From this post we will learn how to calculate Kgs from Yards.

Say,

Fabric length  - 3.3611 yards ( 121 ")
Fabric Width - 45 "
Fabric Gsm - 140


Rules:

= Fabric length X Fabric width X GSM / 1550 / 1000

= 121" X 45" X 140 /1550 / 1000

= 762300 /1550 /1000

= 0.49180645161 kgs (weight of the followings fabric)

Hope above information will help you.

Calculate GSM (w/o machine)

Calculate GSM from the data given

Total Weight of fabric                 = 15.5 Kgs

Length of fabric                          = 35 meters

Width of fabric in open form      = 65 inches

Solution:

First we will calculate area of the fabric

Fabric length      = 35 meters

Fabric width      = 65 inches or 1.65 meters

Fabric area        = Length * width

                         =35 * 1.65

                         =57.75 meters square

Weight of 57.75  Meter square is 15.5 kgs or 15500 grams

 So weight of one square meter  

= 15500/57.75

= 268.39 grams per meter square of GSM of the fabric   

Calculate weight of fabric:

Calculate weight of fabric from the given data.

Grammage                                300 GSM

Width of fabric               35 inches (in tubular form)

Length of fabric              20 meters

First we will calculate area of the fabric

Area of fabric = Fabric length * fabric width

                          = 20 * 35*2 (since fabric is in tubular)

                        39.37 (one meter is equal to 39.37 inches)

                        = 35.6 meter square

Weight of one meter square is     = 300 (GSM)

And weight of 35.6 meter square = 300*35.6

 Ans.                       = 10680 grams or 10.680 Kgs 

Convert 250 GSM (grams per square meter) into OSY (ounces per square yard)

Convert 250 GSM (grams per square meter) into OSY (ounces per square yard)

It means weight of one meter square is 250grams or

Weight of one square meter is 8.93 ounces (28 grams are equal to one ounce) or

Weight of 1.196 yard square (one meter square is equal to 1.196 yard square) is 8.93 or

Weight of one yard square =  8.93* 1

                                             1.196

                                   

Answer = 7.47 ounces  per yard square 

Convert 10 OSY (ounces per square yard) into GSM (grams per square meter)

Learn Apparel Merchandising, Learn Fashion design. 

Convert 10 OSY (ounces per square yard) into GSM (grams per square meter).

It means weight of one yard square is 10 ounces or

Weight of one square yard is 280 grams (one ounce is equal to 28 grams) or

Weight of one 0.836 meter square (one yard square is 0.836 meter square) is 280 grams or

Weight of one meter square =  280* 1

                                                0.836

 Answer = 344.9 grams per meter square
