* Industrial wheels and rims are not all the same. When calculating a tire size for
SECTION WIDTH (SW) polyurethane flatproofing material, drop center wheels require additional material
10.5 over standard wheels.

POUNDS
FORMULA: 2.47 x SH x SW x (SH + RD) x .036 = lbs +/- 15%
TIRE SIZE: 23 x 10.5 x 12
OVERALL EXAMPLE: 2.47 x 5.5 x 10.5 x 17.5 x .036 = 90 lbs +/- 15%

KILOGRAMS
FORMULA: [2.47 x SH x SW x (SH + RD) x .036] / 2.2 = kgs +/- 15%
TIRE SIZE: 23 x 10.5 x 12
EXAMPLE: [2.47 x 5.5 x 10.5 x 17.5 x .036] / 2.2 = 41 kgs +/- 15%
While using the charts in this guide are simple (just find the tire size designation for the tire you want to flatproof in the column labeled “Tire
Size”, and look across to find the weight in the shaded column labeled “Lbs”), reading the following sections will help you to more fully utilize the
information in this chart.
WHAT’S NEW:
• Addendum:
The addendum includes newer and/or uncommon tire sizes for your reference.
• Section III:
This section contains all tires which lack a rim diameter as part of their designation. This only applies to type VII aircraft tires and some
bicycle tires. As section II is organized by rim diameter, it will now be much easier to locate those tires without a rim diameter in their
designation in Section III.
ASSUMPTIONS:
The weights shown in the following charts assume the following:
1. The tires are being filled with TyrFil Ultra. The use of other brands may require different weights.
2. The tires are mounted on standard width rims. (Use of over or under sized rims will require more or less material respectively.)
3. The tires are pressurized to 100 percent of the maximum recommended pressure for each tire. (Use of more or less pressure may cause a
significant variation in the amount of material required.)
4. The diameters and section widths of the tires to be flatproofed are in conformity with those specified by The Tire and Rim Association.
(Tires which do not conform to those standards may require significantly more or less material to flatproof.)
5. The tires being flatproofed are new tires which have been pressurized with air to their maximum rated inflation pressures for 24 hours
prior to being filled to allow the carcass to “grow”. (Used tires will require more material to flatproof.)
