M-Weight Calculator

Determine the weight of 1,000 sheets of a given sheet size using


length, width, and basis weight using this formula:

(Area of Given Sheet) x Basis Weight


Area of Basic Size

Rounded Ream
x 2
Weight

Roll Weight Calculator

Find the weight of a roll of paper using


roll diameter, width, and core using this formula:

([Roll Diameter2 Core Diameter2] x Roll Width) x Diameter Factor


Linear Footage Calculator

Determine the linear footage of a roll using


roll weight and width using this formula:
(For linear yards, divide linear feet by 3.)

(Roll Weight x [Area of Basic Size]) x 500


= Linear Feet
(Basis Weight x Roll Width) x 12
MSI/MSF Calculator

Calculate thousand square inches and thousand square feet of a roll of paper
from roll weight and basis weight using this formula:
(For MSF, divide MSI by 144.)

Weight of Roll
= MSI
(Basis Weight + [Area of Basic Size]) x 2
Pages-Per-Inch Calculator

Using this formula, estimate the number of pages in an inch of paper


having a specific thickness, or caliper, per sheet of paper:

2
= Pages Per Inch
Caliper
