    Grammage Sampler

    The Annimet Grammage Sampler is a precision round-specimen punch designed in strict accordance with the QB/T 1671 standard. It cuts accurate 100 cm² test specimens of paper and board for grammage (basis weight) determination. The one-piece cast-iron frame guarantees long-term dimensional stability. Its special-grade steel blade features a wave-shaped edge that reduces cutting pressure and extends service life. A unique pressing-cover mechanism flattens the specimen before punching, minimizing sampling errors caused by curled or uneven sheets. Used together with an electronic balance, this samp...

Product Introduction
This grammage sampler is specifically designed to punch standard 100 cm² circular specimens for paper and board grammage testing. It handles single or multiple paper sheets with a total thickness from 0.1 to 3.0 mm, and single-layer paperboard up to 0.6 mm thick. The cutter blade is made of special No.10 steel hardened by high-temperature quenching; its wave-shaped profile distributes cutting force evenly, resulting in smooth, burr-free edges and a notably extended blade life. The integrated pressing cover holds the sheet flat before the punch, eradicating movement and curl-induced errors. With a total weight of 15 kg and a rigid one-piece cast-iron body, the instrument sits firmly on any workbench and delivers repeatable results with a cutting accuracy of ±0.35 mm.

Key Features 
Industry Standard Compliant:Designed and manufactured per QB/T 1671-2017, ensuring standardized specimen preparation for paper and board physical property testing.
One-Piece Cast Iron Frame:The robust monolithic cast-iron construction eliminates structural flex, delivering unwavering dimensional stability over years of service.
Wave-Shaped Hardened Steel Blade:The blade is fabricated from special-grade No.10 steel, high-temperature quenched, with a wave profile that reduces cutting force and lasts significantly longer.
Exclusive Pressing-Cover Design:A built-in flattening cover clamps the specimen prior to punching, removing sheet curl and minimizing area errors at the source.
Standardized Specimen Area:Precisely cuts a 100 cm² round specimen—the standard area for grammage calculation—so results can be directly computed without conversion.
Versatile Thickness Range:Cuts single or multiple paper layers from 0.1 to 3.0 mm, and single-layer paperboard up to 0.6 mm, covering most routine test needs.
Tight Cutting Tolerance:Sampling accuracy within ±0.35 mm guarantees consistent specimen dimensions and highly reproducible grammage data.
Safe & Effortless Operation:A well-engineered lever mechanism coupled with the wave-edge blade makes punching smooth and low-effort, while built-in guards ensure operator safety.

FAQ 
Q: What materials can this sampler cut?
A: It is designed for cutting standard round specimens from various types of paper and paperboard for grammage testing.
Q: What is the specimen area?
A: The specimen area is 100 cm², which is the standard area prescribed for paper and board grammage determination.
Q: Is the device heavy? Does it need to be bolted down?
A: It weighs 15 kg with a solid cast-iron base, so it sits stably on the benchtop and requires no extra clamping or bolting.
Q: Can the blade be replaced if it becomes dull?
A: The blade is hardened for long life. Should replacement or sharpening ever be needed, please contact our after-sales service for support.
Q: How thick can the paperboard be?
A: For single-layer paperboard, the thickness should be less than 0.6 mm. Multiple layers of paper can be cut up to a combined thickness of 3.0 mm.
Q: How is cutting accuracy maintained?
A: The one-piece cast-iron frame and the integrated pressing-cover design hold the specimen flat and secure, keeping the cutting tolerance within ±0.35 mm for every sample.

  1. Grammage, or basis weight, is the mass per unit area of paper or board, usually expressed in grams per square meter (g/m²). It is one of the most fundamental physical properties of paper, directly influencing thickness, stiffness, tensile strength, bursting strength, and printability. Precise grammage control is essential for both product quality and production cost management. According to international and national standards, grammage is determined by first punching a specimen of a known, fixed area using a specialized cutter, and then weighing it on an analytical balance. The grammage sampler is the critical sample-preparation instrument in this process. By producing a specimen with a strictly constant area, typically 100 cm², it minimizes weighing uncertainty and ensures that the grammage value truly represents the sheet. Though simple in appearance, the sampler’s frame rigidity, blade sharpness, and mechanical repeatability directly determine the accuracy and comparability of the final test result, making it the cornerstone instrument for paper mills, converting plants, and quality inspection agencies.
