If we want to make P/interlock finished fabric with 230 GSM to 250 GSM then we must follow the below rules: Yarn count will be : 30/s comb or card Stitch line will be : 1.65 - 1.85 Grey Gsm should be : 170 - 190 Gsm Where: 1 cm = 28/32 Feeder If we want to make RIB (1X1) finished fabric with 170 GSM to 190 GSM then we must follow the below rules: Yarn count will be : 30/s comb or card Stitch line will be : 2.65 - 2.85 Grey Gsm should be : 125 - 130 Gsm Where: 1 cm = 17/18 Feeder If we want to make RIB (1X1) finished fabric with 195 GSM to 225 GSM then we must follow the below rules: Yarn count will be : 26/s comb or card Stitch line will be : 2.70 - 2.95 Grey Gsm should be : 140 - 155 Gsm Where: 1 cm = 16/17 Feeder
If we want to make RIB (1X1) finished fabric with 230 GSM to 250 GSM then we must follow the below rules: Yarn count will be : 24/s comb or card Stitch line will be : 2.70 - 2.95 Grey Gsm should be : 160 - 175 Gsm Where: 1 cm = 16/17 Feeder
However, you can also calculate the of find out the Grey fabric Gsm from a finished fabric Gsm, It will be as like below: In single jersey fabric : If the yarn count is 30/s then the grey gsm will be 80% to 85% less from the finished Gsm If the yarn count is 26/s then the grey gsm will be 78% to 80% less from the finished Gsm If the yarn count is 24/s then the grey gsm will be 76% to 77% less from the finished Gsm If the yarn count is 20/s then the grey gsm will be 76% to 79% less from the finished Gsm In P/int fabric : If the yarn count is 40/s then the grey gsm will be 72% less from the finished Gsm If the yarn count is 34/s then the grey gsm will be 72% less from the finished Gsm If the yarn count is 30/s then the grey gsm will be 74% less from the finished Gsm If the yarn count is 26/s then the grey gsm will be 72% less from the finished Gsm If the yarn count is 24/s then the grey gsm will be 72% less from the finished Gsm
