Candle Burn Rate Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Candle Burn Rate:

$CBR = \frac{CW}{BT}$

Where:

$CBR$ is the Candle Burn Rate (oz/hr)
$CW$ is the Change in Weight of the Candle (oz)
$BT$ is the Total Burn Time (hrs)

Candle Burn Rate Definition

The Candle Burn Rate (CBR) is the rate at which a candle burns, measured in ounces per hour (oz/hr). It is calculated by dividing the change in weight of the candle by the total burn time. This metric is useful for understanding how long a candle will last and for comparing the efficiency of different candles.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Change in Weight ( $CW$ ) = 4 oz
Total Burn Time ( $BT$ ) = 8 hrs

Using the formula:

$CBR = \frac{4}{8} = 0.5 \text{ oz/hr}$

The Candle Burn Rate is 0.5 oz/hr.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Change in Weight ( $CW$ ) = 6 oz
Total Burn Time ( $BT$ ) = 12 hrs

Using the formula:

$CBR = \frac{6}{12} = 0.5 \text{ oz/hr}$

The Candle Burn Rate is 0.5 oz/hr.
