Fabric Weight

• Carbon Fiber fabric weight is referred to as grams per square meter of fabric.
• For example a fabric that is 3K, 2x2 Weave 240 grams - means the fabric is woven using 3K TOWS (3000 filaments per bundle) in a 2 by 2 weave and 1 square meter weighs 240 grams.
• A fabric that is 600 grams per square meter will generally be a thicker heavier fabric usually with larger TOW of 6K to 12K filaments per TOW.
