Schroder GSM Cutter Machine 38mm
The Schroder GSM Cutter Machine 38mm is a sample cutting instrument designed for preparing material samples for GSM (Grams per Square Meter) measurement. It is particularly useful in industries and laboratories where the weight and GSM of materials such as textiles, paper, film, and other sheet or flexible materials need to be evaluated.
The 38mm sample cutter is designed for convenient and consistent sample preparation. Its compact construction makes it suitable for textile laboratories, quality-control departments, paper industries, production facilities, research laboratories, and material testing applications where accurate sample cutting is required before weighing and GSM calculation.

GSM Testing & Sample Preparation
GSM, or Grams per Square Meter, is commonly used to express the weight of paper, fabric, textile, and other sheet materials per unit area. Before calculating GSM, a sample with a known area is normally cut from the material and weighed using an appropriate balance.
The Schroder GSM Cutter Machine 38mm helps prepare a consistent sample area for this testing process. Once the sample is accurately cut and weighed, the appropriate conversion factor can be applied to determine the GSM value.
For a standard 100 cm² GSM cutter, a ×100 multiplier is commonly used when the sample weight is expressed in grams. However, the smaller 38 cm² cutter requires a different conversion factor. Based on the stated sample area, the applicable multiplier is approximately ×263.16.
GSM Calculation
For the 38 cm² sample cutter:
GSM = Sample Weight (g) × 263.16
For example, if the 38 cm² sample weighs 0.50 g:
GSM = 0.50 × 263.16 = 131.58 GSM
The actual testing procedure should always follow the laboratory’s established method and the applicable material-testing standard.GSM Cutter Machine 38mm
Applications
1. Textile Industry
The GSM Cutter Machine 38mm can be used for preparing fabric and textile samples for GSM testing. GSM is an important parameter in textile quality control because fabric weight can influence material characteristics, production consistency, and product specifications.
2. Paper Industry
It can be used for preparing paper samples for weight and GSM evaluation. Paper manufacturers and quality-control laboratories can use properly prepared samples for routine material testing.
3. Film & Flexible Materials
The instrument may also be suitable for cutting samples from appropriate thin films and flexible sheet materials where GSM or area-weight measurement is required.
4. Laboratory Quality Control
The Schroder GSM Cutter Machine 38mm can be used in laboratories for consistent sample preparation before weighing and calculating material GSM.
5. Production & Manufacturing
Manufacturing and production facilities can use GSM sample cutters as part of their routine quality-control procedures for monitoring material specifications.
Why Use a GSM Cutter?
Consistent sample preparation is important for reliable GSM measurement. Cutting samples manually can result in variations in size and shape, which may affect the calculated result. A dedicated GSM cutter helps provide a more consistent sample area, making the subsequent weighing and calculation process more convenient.
The Schroder GSM Cutter Machine 38mm is therefore a practical tool for laboratories and industries that regularly perform material weight and GSM testing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the Schroder GSM Cutter Machine 38mm?
It is a sample-cutting instrument designed to prepare material samples for GSM (Grams per Square Meter) testing.
2. What does GSM mean?
GSM means Grams per Square Meter and represents the weight of a material per square meter of area.
3. What materials can be tested using this cutter?
It is intended for suitable materials such as textiles, paper, films, and other thin sheet or flexible materials.
4. What is the cutter size?
The stated cutter size is 38mm, with a sample area of approximately 38 cm².
5. What multiplier is used for the 38 cm² cutter?
The stated multiplier for the 38 cm² cutter is approximately ×263.16.
6. Why is ×263.16 used?
Because the sample area is smaller than the standard 100 cm² GSM cutter, a higher conversion multiplier is required to convert the measured sample weight into grams per square meter.
7. What is the formula for GSM using this cutter?
The stated calculation is:
GSM = Sample Weight (g) × 263.16
8. Where is a GSM cutter commonly used?
It can be used in textile, paper, film, manufacturing, quality-control, and material-testing laboratories.
9. Is the Schroder GSM Cutter suitable for laboratory use?
Yes. It is designed as a sample preparation tool for laboratory and industrial GSM testing applications.
10. What is the main advantage of using a GSM cutter?
It helps prepare samples with a consistent cutting area, making the subsequent weighing and GSM calculation process more convenient and repeatable.
