stoffmassa
Stoffmassa is a term used primarily in the European textile industry to describe the mass per unit area of a fabric, expressed in metric units such as grams per square metre (g / m²). The word derives from the Swedish “stoff” meaning cloth or material and the German and Dutch “massa” meaning mass. In practice, stoffmassa indicates how heavy a piece of fabric will be when spread to a standardized size, providing a quantifiable measure of its density and, by extension, its thickness, durability and drape.

In addition to clothing, stoffmassa is relevant to upholstery, curtains and industrial textiles such as geotextiles,
