BOPP Film Weight Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the BOPP Film Weight.
BOPP = g * .254 * L * W / 63,500
Variables:
- BOPP is the BOPP Film Weight (lbs)
- g is the mil gauge
- L is the roll length (ft)
- W is the roll width (in)
To calculate BOPP film weight, multiply the mil gauge by the length and width, then multiply by 0.000004.
How to Calculate BOPP Film Weight?
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the BOPP Film Weight.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the mil gauge.
- The mil gauge is calculated to be : 250.
- Next, determine the roll length (ft).
- The roll length (ft) is measured to be: 300.
- Next, determine the roll width (in).
- The roll width (in) is found to be: 20.
- Finally, calculate the BOPP Film Weight using the formula above:
BOPP = g * .254 * L * W / 63,500
The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.
BOPP = 250 * .254 * 300 * 20 / 63,500 = 6.00 (lbs)
Example Problem #2
The variables required for this problem are provided below:
mil gauge = 100
roll length (ft) = 200
roll width (in) = 100
Test your knowledge and check your answer with the calculator.BOPP = g * .254 * L * W / 63,500 = (lbs)
