A specialized instrument to determine the GSM of the textiles (Woven, Non Woven or Knitted, Fabrics) Our Round Cutter can be used for virtually any type of material including Film, Foam, Carpet Paper and Board.
The unit is recommended for Yield Testing i.e. determination of weight per unit area. The sample cutter cuts out rapidly and accurately circular specimens of 100 Sq. cm. which is exactly One Hundredth of a Square Meter, the result in grams, multiplied by 100, gives grams per square meter.
GRAMS Per Square METER = Specimen Weight in Grams x 100

PROCEDURE :

The Cutter has been specially designed to make it portable due to its light weight. Only the fabric has to gripped between cutter base and Rubber pad cutter top to be rotated gently clockwise direction for accurate cutting of fabric. The cut fabric can be weighed and multiplied by 100 to get GSM.

MAINTENANCE :
To maintain the efficiency of the Cutter:
a) The Blades should be turned or changed when they become damaged or blunt.
b) The Cutting Pad should also be changed, when it becomes worn out.

Virtually any type of material can be cut, including woven, non woven and knitted textiles, carpet, film, foam, paper and board.

The cutters can handle material thicknesses up to about 5mm. If you need more, Model 230/100(C) incorporates heavy duty blades and can cut specimens up to approximately 10mm thick.

If in doubt, send us some material for evaluation. Cut specimens are weighed to determine the weight per unit area of the material or specimens are cut to a particular diameter in
preparation for some other form of testing. Subject to quantity, we can offer any diameter between 38mm and 140mm. Diameters outside this range are not practical. The standard sizes are shown in the table below. UKAS-accredited Certificates of Calibration are available to confirm the cutting accuracy of these instruments. We supply suitable digital balances for weighing the cut specimens in either g/m 2 or oz/yd.
