GSM Indicator
(Basis Weight / Grammage)
This is an equipment to
accurately measure the basis weight of any substrate to display
the reading directly in GSM with high accuracy.
This equipment confirms to TAPPI
T - 410
standards and can be used for :
- Paper,
- Paper board,
- Corrugated fiber boards,
- Plastic Films,
- Laminates,
- Aluminum Foils,
or
any other material in sheet form.
Significance :
Most paper is bought and sold in
accordance with its mass per unit area, and therefore the
grammage has great significance both to the consumer and the
producer in defining price.
The values of many physical
properties such as
bursting strength, thickness, and bulk are interpreted and
specified with regard to grammage.
The grammage is also used to
calculate the index properties of many strength properties and
thus the proper measurement of basis weight is critical
for the correct calculation of these indexes.
This equipment is relevant to :
-
Paper Mills.
-
Carton Manufacturers.
- Plastic Film manufacturers.
- Laminators.
- Printing Units.
- Heavy
End-Users of Paper, Film or Foil.
-
Research Institutions.
-
Packaging Development centers.
