Grammage, yield

Determination of the grammage (e.g. plastic film and fabric or nonwoven, packaging film, paper and cardboard, aluminum foil for thickness measurement), calculation of the yield (in the dimension [m²/kg material]).

Test Method Group: Mechanical properties

Norms:

DIN 55543-6 (2019-04) Packaging test – Test methods for packaging films – Part 6: Determination of grammage
DIN EN ISO 536 (2020-05) Paper and board – Determination of grammage
FhG Technical Bulletin 6 Teil 6 (1987) Methods of test for plastic bags - Part 6 - Determination of mass per unit area (grammage) of plastic film and fabric
DIN EN 546-3 (2007-03) Aluminium and aluminium alloys – Foil – Part 3: Tolerances on dimensions

Required Sample Amount: Approx. 1 m² or 15 DIN A 4 sheets, minimum sample width 160 mm; preferably samples over the complete material width, e. g. approx. 1 linear metres of 1 m width
