    Calculation of Fabric utilization

    Fabric utilization is calculated by weight

    Step 1: Measure the lay length (A) or marker length that should be used in bulk cutting. Suppose fabric width
    is 1.2 meters. Collect the information of fabric GSM (Grams per square meter).

    Step 2: Calculate weight of that lay (B).

    Fabric Weight = Fabric width X Lay Length X GSM X No. of plies (You can also calculate taking multiple lays) or
    1.2A*GSM * no. of plies

    Step 3: Cut the patterns and collect all waste fabric and weigh waste (C). Normally includes ends losses, cut
    waste.

    Step 4: Weight of the fabric of cut panels D= (B-C)

    Step 5: Fabric utilization% = Weight of cut panels (D)/Total weight of the lay (B)*100%

    for the accuracy you can do this exercise with multiple lays and take average of them.

    Example: For better understanding I have shown an example in the following.

    Step 1: Assume that


    a) Measured lay length = 3 meters
    b) Fabric GSM = 150
    c) No. of Plies = 5 and
    d) Fabric width = 1.2 meters,

    Step 2: Calculated weight of the lay = 3*150*5*1.2 =2700 grams

    Step 3: Weight of the collected waste after cutting = 300 grams


    Step 4: Weight of the cut panels = (2700 – 300) = 2400 grams

    Step 5: Fabric utilization percentage = (2400/2700*100) = 88.9%


    Fabric Consumption for Basic T-shirt

    Calculation – 01: Formula in Centimeter:


    Suppose one of T-shirt’s Body length (72+4) cm, Sleeve length (23+2) cm, Chest length (Dia)
    (53+2) cm and G.S.M 180. Determine the fabric consumption for the basic T-Shirt.

    Solution:
    Here, Body Length = 76 cm
    Sleeve Length = 25 cm
    Chest Length = 55×2=110 cm (For both side)

    Figur
    e: A basic t-shirt and his measurement
    We get,
    Fabric consumption = [(Body length + Sleeve length) * (Chest * 2) * G.S.M] / (1000 * 1000)
    kg
    = [(76 + 25) * (55*2) * 180] / 1000000 kg
    = 1999800 / 1000000 kg
    = 0.19995 kg
    The amount of fabric is just for 1 piece. Generally 12 pieces are counted with one.
    Fabric consumption for 1 Dozen = 12×0.19998 kgs
    = 2.399 kgs
    Fabric consumption for 1 Dozen 2 kgs and 399 gms.

    Calculation – 02: Formula in Inch:


    Here, Body Length = (28+ 1) inch
    Sleeve Length = (9+1) inch
    Chest Length = (21+1) inch =22 inch×2 = 44 inch
    G.S.M = 180
    According to formula,
    Fabric consumption = [(Body length + Sleeve length) * (Chest * 2) * G.S.M] / (1550 * 1000)
    kg
    = [(29 + 10) * (22*2) * 180] / 1550000 kg
    = 308880 / 1550000 kg
    = 0.199920 kg
    The amount of fabric is just for 1 piece. Generally 12 pieces are counted with one.
    Fabric consumption for 1 Dozen = 12×0.199920kgs
    = 2.391 kgs
    Fabric consumption for 1 Dozen 2 kgs and 391 gms.
