Take a paper of standard size. Measure its mass in gram using an electronic balance. Find its dimensions (length and breadth) in meter. Find the area in meter2. Get the gsm by dividing the mass in gram by area in meter2.
Example: If the mass of a 42cmx33.5cm paper is 8.15gram then its gsm is 58 .
(8.15/.42/.335 = 58)
You will get more accurate results by using multiple sheets of paper. I usually use at least 10 sheets of paper, then you can either find the total area of the 10 sheets (multiply area of 1 sheet by 10), or divide the mass that you measured by 10, before doing the gsm calculation.

To calculate the grammage of a paper in grams per square meter (GSM), you need to weigh a standard-sized sheet of the paper in grams and then measure the area of the sheet in square meters. Divide the weight of the paper by the area to get the GSM value, which indicates the weight of the paper in grams per square meter.

How do you convert gsm of paper into mm?
To convert grammage (gsm) of paper into thickness (mm), you must know the density of the paper. Paper density varies depending on the type of paper. However, as a general approximation, you can convert by using the formula: thickness (mm) = gsm / density (g/cm³).
How do you calculate gsm of polyethylene?
To calculate the GSM (grams per square meter) of polyethylene, you need to know the weight in grams of a known area of the material. Measure a specific area of the polyethylene sample, weigh it in grams, and then divide the weight by the area measured to determine the GSM. The formula for calculating GSM is GSM = (Weight in grams / Area in square meters).
What is the weight of a ream of copy paper?
For 80 gsm paper, it is approx 2.495 kilograms.
How much does 1 ream of paper weigh?
A ream of paper is 20 quires of paper.A quire is defined in different ways.As a number it is currently 25 sheets of paper, but formerly it was 24 sheets.So, if we assume that a quire is 25, and a ream is 20 quires, then a ream is 20 x 25, which is 500 sheets.All you have to do now is to find the weight of 1 sheet of paper and multiply it by 500!Paper is often sold in different weights. The 'weight' indicates its thickness.A typical 'copy' paper A4 size, for use on a home PC printer, weighs about 80 grams per square meter (gsm).A Premier Photo paper might weigh 250 gsm.So the weight of a ream of paper depends on1. the 'gsm' weight/quality of the paper2. the size of each sheet in the reamA ream (500 sheets) of A4 paper, 80 gsm, weighs about 2.4 Kg But a ream of A3 size paper, a sheet of which is twice the sizeof an A4 sheet, weighs about 4.8 Kg
What unit is the thickness of paper and card measured in?
Paper thickness is measured in grams per square metre (gsm). This is the weight of one square metre of the paper.Answer 2g/m² (gsm) is not a measure of thickness, it is a measure of weight per unit area. Thickness is measured in micrometres (µm).

Which is thicker A4 130gsm paper or A4 80gsm paper?
The unit 'gsm' stands for 'grams per square meter', which means that a 130 gsm paper is heavier than an 80 gsm paper. Whether the 130 gsm is thicker depends on the type of paper. However, 130 gsm of the same paper stock would obviously be thicker.

What is GSM in kraft paper?
GSM in relation to paper - is the weight in Grammes of one Square Metre. For example - 'regular' A4 copier paper is usually 70 GSM. Craft paper such as origami paper (for folding into models) is usually much lighter at around 40 GSM, or sheets of card is normally 120 GSM
What is the difference between 70 gsm and 75 gsm in paper quality?
75 gsm and 70 gsm are the weight of the paper naturally the 75 gsm is a little bit good tha 70 gsm paper it is costly to but the 70 gsm paper is good for daily printing on laser printer but if u want to make special assignement or project or may be resume than go for the 75 gsm or more
What is weight in grams of paper?
The weight of paper is measured in grams per square meter (gsm). It indicates the density or thickness of the paper. Common paper weights range from 60 gsm (lightweight) to 300 gsm (heavyweight).
