Sourcing fabric internationally? This calculator converts the metric GSM standard into the ounces-per-square-yard unit common in US textile trade.
oz/yd┬▓ = GSM x 0.0295
Example
A 200 GSM fabric:
oz/yd┬▓ = 200 x 0.0295 = 5.90 oz/yd┬▓
Why Two Different Units Exist
GSM (grams per square meter) is the standard international metric fabric weight unit used by most global suppliers, while ounces per square yard remains more common in US textile trade and domestic sourcing conversations.
When This Conversion Comes Up Most
Converting between these units is frequently needed when sourcing fabric internationally, comparing technical specs across suppliers who quote in different systems, or translating a US-based design brief into specs an overseas mill can quote against directly.
