Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

I have a fabric that is 5.5oz/sq yard. I need to know what the weight is in grams/sq meter.

How do get there from here?

Thanks

1 lb = 16 oz = 435.59237 g
1 yd = 0.9144 m

so

5.5 oz/ sq yd x 453.59237 g/16 oz x (1 yd/0.9144 m)^2 =
186.5 g/m^2

Much easier conversion. use conversion factor 33.906 to convert oz/sqyd to gr/sqm

5.5 oz/sqyd x 33.906=186.483 gm/sqm

GSM aka g/m2 = grams per square meter
oz/yd2 = ounces per yard squared
1 gram = 0.03527 ounces
1 lb = 16 oz = 435.59237 grams
1 inch = 2.54 cm
1 yd = 36 inches = 0.9144 m = 91.44 cm
Conversion formulas:

There is an easy way to convert gsm to oz/yd2.
Divide the gsm by 33.906 - really that is all.
To determine gsm from oz/yd2 you do the reverse - multiple by 33.906.

If it helps, this is what the formulas are based upon:

1 oz = 28.3495231 grams
1 yard = 0.9144 meters
1 yard squared = 0.9144 m x 0.9144 m = 0.83612736 meters squared

Therefore

1 oz/yd2 = 28.3495231g/.83612736 m2 = 33.90574744 g/m2
Rounded up to three decimal places it is 33.906

Question : If a fabric is 5.5oz/sq yard, how many the weight is in grams/sq meter ?
Answer : 5.5 oz/sqyd x 33.906 = 186.483 gm/sqm
