Gsm (grams per square meter) is the international standard for paper weight because it's a direct area-based measurement. The US "lb bond" system instead weighs 500 sheets of a category-specific parent sheet size, which is why the 0.37 factor used here applies specifically to the bond-paper category rather than to text or cover stock.
