Formula for converting paper weights
If you know the paper grade, you can use the following formula
and the values in
Table A-2.
to convert the weight from pounds to
gsm.
Formula
(weight in pounds) x (multiplier from table) = (weight in gsm)
Examples
The weight of 90 pound offset paper is approximately 133 gsm.
90 x 1.4802 = 133.218
The weight of 100 pound cover is approximately 270 gsm. 100 x
2.7042 = 270.42
Table for converting paper weights
You can also use
Table A-3.
to convert pounds to gsm weight.
1. Locate the paper type at the top of the table.
2. Move down the paper type column and locate the basis
weight.
