Calculate Paper Reel Weight







Formula

To calculate the Paper Reel Weight (PRW):

$$PRW = (OD^2 - ID^2) \cdot W \cdot D$$

What is Paper Reel Weight?

A paper reel weight is defined as the total mass of a roll of paper with a given diameter, core, and width.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

$$PRW = (40^2 - 6^2) \cdot 30 \cdot 0.04335 = (1600 - 36) \cdot 30 \cdot 0.04335 = 1564 \cdot 30 \cdot 0.04335 ≈ 2033.89 \text{ lbs}$$

The Paper Reel Weight is approximately 2033.89 lbs.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

$$PRW = (50^2 - 8^2) \cdot 40 \cdot 0.04335 = (2500 - 64) \cdot 40 \cdot 0.04335 = 2436 \cdot 40 \cdot 0.04335 ≈ 4216.51 \text{ lbs}$$

The Paper Reel Weight is approximately 4216.51 lbs.
