See this FAQ:
http://www.colorprintingforum.com/print-wiki/paper-weight-conversion-240.html

Now pt is a measurement of thickness whereas gsm is a measurement of weight, so you can have stock of a given pt thickness that is slightly heavier or lighter in gsm due to different density.

10 pt ~ 200 gsm
12 pt ~ 250 gsm
14 pt ~ 300 gsm
16 pt ~ 350 gsm

Kromekote is a common gloss cardstock to print for example --

C1S (one side gloss coated)
6pt 148 GSM
8pt 184 GSM
10pt 219 GSM
12pt 247 GSM
14pt 274 GSM

C2S (both sides gloss coated)
6pt 166 GSM
8pt 201 GSM
10pt 237 GSM
12pt 265 GSM
14pt 293 GSM

Thanks for this info. Do you,by any chance, have a good source for a conversion calculator that will go up to 24pt?
