Geotextile Fabric Solutions: Geotextile 150 GSM Applications Guide
Factors that define the meaning of geotextile GSM The manufacturing of geotextile fabrics have been developed on the basis of permeable textile which provides soil with a function to enhance its stability and drainage in civil engineering and environmental applications. It is made from polypropylene or polyester fibers, in woven or non-woven form, depending on strength and filtration capacity. The GSM of Geotextile needs to be understood to analyze its performance. GSM is an acronym meaning grams per square meter, a measure of the weight and density of fabric. A higher GSM typically indicates greater tensile strength and durability; a lower GSM is more lightweight and flexible. As an example, Geotextile 150 GSM is a medium weight fabric used for filtration and separation applications. The GSM rating is chosen by engineers based upon load conditions, soil properties and drainage needs. Engineering and Geotextile Fabric: Key Functions Geotextile fabric provides four main engin...
