Customers and specifications don't always use the same units. This converter turns grammage into the common imperial basis weights, each with its ream size, so there's no doubt which one you're quoting.
Add the caliper to get bulk and apparent density, two of the properties that matter most for tissue softness and for printing and packaging grades.
Paper properties
Convert grammage to imperial basis weights, and work out bulk and density from caliper.
Bulk
1.25cm³/g
Bulk = caliper ÷ grammage. Density = grammage ÷ caliper. Imperial basis weight = grammage × ream area ÷ 453.6 g/lb.
Production rate
Tonnes per hour, day and shift from machine speed, grammage and trim width.
Reel length and weight
Paper length and weight on a reel from its diameter, core, width and caliper.
Consistency and dilution
Dry fibre flow, and the water needed to dilute stock to a target consistency.
OEE from shift numbers
Availability, performance, quality and OEE from the figures on a shift report.
FibreMate logs reels and stops as the shift runs and works out production, OEE and lost time for you.
