Linear metres on reel

  • Length = W x 1000 / (Gsm x Rwd)
  • Length = 3.1416 (D² – d²) / (4000 x t)
WWeight of reel in kg
Gsmg/m² of paper
RwdWidth of reels in m
DExternal diameter of reel in mm                                    
dExternal diameter of core in mm
tThickness of paper in mm 

Weight in kg of a reel from diameter

  • Weight = ((D² – d²) x 3.1416 x Rwd / 4) x Rg
Dexternal diameter of reel in m
dexternal diameter of core in m Rwd = Width of reels in m
RgSpecific weight of the paper in kg/m³
