Ounce Weight (oz)
Ounce Weight (oz) :
A traditional unit for measuring the density (incorrectly called the "weight") of a fabric. In most cases, the stated ounce density of a fabric is its density in ounces per square yard (oz/yd2). 1 ounce per square yard is equal to 33.9057 grams per square meter (g/m2 or gsm). However, when the fabric is shipped in rolls or bolts of a standard width, the ounce density is sometimes figured in ounces per linear yard, the width being understood. For example, for a bolt of wool having a standard width of 60 inches (1.524 meters), a density of 1 ounce per linear yard corresponds to 31.0034 grams per linear meter, or, taking the width into account, 20.3434 grams per square meter
