• Kilogram (kg)

Length Conversion

Basics

1 yard = 0.9144 meters

Quick Formulas

• Meters→Yards: ÷ 0.9144
• Yards→Meters: × 0.9144

Examples

• 55m fabric = 55 ÷ 0.9144 ≈ 60.2yd
• 80yd cloth = 80 × 0.9144 = 73.15m

Meter-Kilogram Switch

Key Formulas

• Meters = (kg × 1000) ÷ (Width × GSM)
• kg = (Meters × Width × GSM) ÷ 1000

Real Cases

1. 35kg fabric, 1.8m width, 220gsm
   Meters = 35×1000 ÷ (1.8×220) ≈ 89.5m
2. 120m fabric, 1.5m width, 180gsm
   kg = 120×1.5×180 ÷1000 = 32.4kg

Price Conversion

Formulas

• Price/m = (Price/kg × Width × GSM) ÷ 1000
• Price/kg = (Price/m × 1000) ÷ (Width × GSM)

Calculations

1. $25/kg,1.6mwidth,200gsmPrice/m=25\times 1.6\times 200÷1000=$8/m
2. $6.5/m,1.5mwidth,210gsmPrice/kg=6.5\times 1000÷(1.5\times 210)\approx$20.63/kg

Yard-KG Conversion

Formulas

• Yards = (kg×1000 ÷ Width÷GSM) ×0.9144
• kg = (Yards × Width × GSM) ÷ (1000×0.9144)

Examples

1. 40kg fabric, 1.6m width, 220gsm
   Yards = (40×1000 ÷1.6÷220) ×0.9144 ≈105.3yd
2. 150yd fabric, 1.8m width, 240gsm
   kg = 150×1.8×240 ÷(1000×0.9144) ≈70.7kg
