Candle Weight Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Candle Weight (CW) is:

\[ CW = \frac{C \times WC}{20} \]

Where:

\(CW\) is the candle weight (lbs of wax)
\(C\) is the number of containers
\(WC\) is the weight per container (oz)

What is Candle Weight?

Candle Weight is the total weight of wax required for a given number of candle containers. This calculation is essential for candle makers to ensure they have the right amount of wax for their production process.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Number of Containers (C) = 10
Weight per Container (WC) = 8 oz

Using the formula to calculate the Candle Weight (CW):

\[ CW = \frac{C \times WC}{20} = \frac{10 \times 8}{20} = 4 \text{ lbs} \]

The Candle Weight (CW) is 4 lbs.
