Converting Oz to GSM and GSM to OZ

· OZ below refer to Ounces/Square Yard (Should technically be wrote OZ/SQ YD). Just using OZ is technically incorrect, but it is very common.
·
G below refers to Grams/Square Meter (Should technically be wrote GSM or gsm). Just using G is technically incorrect, but it is very common.
·
GSM or gsm is Grams/Square Meter

All are measures of DENSITY


OZ (Ounces per Square Yard) to GSM (Grams per Square Meter)


Often mistakenly referred to as OZ to G


Or ~ x34



1 Oz/Sq Yd = 33.9057475 GSM


1 GSM = 0.0294935247 Oz/Sq Yd


1 Oz/Sq Yd ~ 34 GSM


There is NO conversion from GSM to MIL or from MIL to GSM (One is a density and one is a thickness). I can’t tell you how much someone weighs if you only tell me how tall they are. However, I can make a generalized guess.
