Stretch Film Weight Calculator

The Stretch Film Weight Calculator is a tool used to calculate the weight of stretch film based on the roll length, roll width, and film gauge.

Stretch Film Weight Formula

The formula to calculate the Stretch Film Weight (SFW) is:

\[ \text{SFW} = \frac{L \times W \times (G)}{250,000} \]

Where:

• SFW is the Stretch Film Weight in pounds (lbs).
• L is the roll length in feet (ft).
• W is the roll width in inches (in).
• G is the film gauge.

Example Calculation

To calculate the weight of a stretch film roll:

• If the roll length is 5000 feet, the roll width is 18 inches, and the film gauge is 80, the calculation would be: \[ \text{SFW} = \frac{5000 \times 18 \times 80}{250,000} = 28.8 \text{ lbs} \]

Importance and Usage Scenarios

Understanding the weight of stretch film is important for determining shipping costs, ensuring the correct application of the film, and managing inventory efficiently. This calculator simplifies the process by providing quick and accurate measurements based on standard input values.
