For this, the manufacturers can easily make use of Presto's digital weighing balance. This is one of the most useful testing instruments that will provide you with accurate results of the GSM of packaging materials. The GSM or grammage per square meter is used to determine the weight and strength of materials for quality production. GSM is the standard for measuring paperweight. Thus, with the help OF Presto digital GSM balance, you can easily perform balance weighing for applications such as specific gravity density determination. This digital weighing balance is normally elevated supported on all feet and leveled. A fine wire is attached to the built-in hook at the bottom of the balance.

This amazing testing instrument by Presto has been equipped with safety features so that you can easily perform the test without any hassle. When you test your product with the help of this testing instrument, then you will get the results in terms of gram/m2. You can easily view the testing results with a digital display. Thus, it can be easier for you to display the results accurately. This testing instrument from Presto is compact and space-saving which requires only the simple procedure for measurement of GSM.
