1. To find the weight (in kilograms) of a ream containing 500 sheets of a given size and gram weight.

Length (in Inches) x Width ( in Inches) x Gram Weight _____________________________________________ 3100

2. To find the weight (in Kilograms) of a ream containing 500 sheets of a given size in Centimeters and Gram Weight.

Length (In Centimeters) x Width (in Centimeters) x Gram weight ____________________________________________________ 20000
3. To find the gram weight of a ream containing 500 sheets of given size in inches and weight in kilogram

Weight (in Kgs.) per ream x 3100 _____________________________ Length (in inches) x Width (in inches)
4. To find the gram weight of a ream containing 500 sheets of a given size in Centimeters and weight in kilogram.

Weight (in Kgs.) per ream x 20000 ____________________________ Length (in cms.) x Width (in cms.)
5. To find the total weight (in kilograms) of a reel of a given size, length and gram weight.

CALCULATION FOR PAPER/PAPER BOARD IN REELS

1. To calculate the total length of paper in a reel in meters where the net weight of the paper in Kilograms, the reel width in centimeters and the substance of the paper in grams per square meter is known.

Length of paper in meters =

Weight of reel in Kgs. x 100000 ________________________________ Reel width in cms x grams per sq. meter

FOR EXAMPLE:
The Length of paper of substance 100 gsm in a reel of 75 cms width and weighing 150 Kgs.

150 x 100000 ___________ 75 x 100

= 2000 meters

2. To calculate the weight of a reel of paper in kilograms where the substance of the paper in grams per square meter, the total length of the paper in meter and the reel width is known.

Substance in gsm

Weight of reel in kgs. x 100000 __________________________________ Length of paper in meter x reel width in cms.

FOR EXAMPLE:
The substance of paper in a reel of 250 cm width and which weighs 200 kgs and contain a total length of 1000 meters of paper.

200 x 100000 ______________________ 1000 x 250

= 80 gsm

4. To calculate the approximate number of sheets of a particular size which may be obtained from a reel of paper, the net weight of the reel and the substance of the paper being knowm and the width of the reel also being equal to or exact multiple of the dimension of one side of the sheet.

No. of sheets = cms.

Weight of reel in ks x 10000000 _________________________________________ gsm x Breadth of the sheet in cms x Length of sheet in

FOR EXAMPLE:
Approximate number of sheets of size 51 x 76 cms to be obtained from a reel of paper in 60 gsm substance and having a reel width of 255 cms and weighing 175 kgs.

175 x 10000000 _____________________ 60 x 51 x 76

= 7524 sheets

5. To find the approximate number of sheets of two different sizes to be obtained from a reel, the sizes filling the complete Machine Deckle ( Trimmed). First the proportion of the deckle utilized to obtain the two different sizes is to be found out and consequently the proportion of the weights of the reel to get the two sizes equivalent to the above proportion of the reel utilized to get the two sizes is obtained and the approximate number of sheets for each side is then calculated from the previous formula no.4, the substance of the paper being known.

FOR EXAMPLE:
To fill a deckle of 188 cms of a reel of paper of 80 gsm substance cut in to proportion of 2 x 56 cms and 1 x 75 cms to obtain the paper of two different sizes of 56 x 91 cms and 76 x 102 cms. Find out the approximate number of sheets of the two sizes obtained by cutting the reels in to sheets, the weight of the reel being 376 kgs. Portions of the deckle utilized for the sizes 56 x 91 cms and 76 x 102 cms are respectively.

2 x 56 76 _____ _____ 188 188 Therefore weight of the portion of the reel utilized for size 56 x 91 cms is 376 x 2 x 56 ____________ kgs. 188 and the weight of the portion of the reel utilized for the sie 76 x 102 is 376 x 1 x 76 _____________ 188 Approximate number of sheets for the size 56 x 91 cms 224 x 10000000 _____________ 80 x 56 x 91 Approximate numner of sheets for size 76 x 102 cms. = 5494 sheets = 152 kgs. and

1x

= 224

152 x 10000000 _____________ 80 x 76 x 102

= 2450 sheets

N.B. For any specifications given in inches, first we should convert in to cms by multiplying by 2.54 for getting the correct result.
