Roll of film 2021-11-20
From Brian:
Trying to create a formula to calculate the build up on a roll of film is calculated. Except instead of of a roll, it's essentially a rectangle with two semicircles on each at the end. Example: I start with a 6" diameter core on each side, and I start winding .005" thick film on the core. The distance between the center of those cores, length of the inner rectangle is 7.125. If I continue to do this for a total length of film of 3000 feet, what will the roll length and width be. So what I need is the formula to perform this type of calculation. Can you help me? I want to be able to plug the formula in a spread sheet and to be able to input a core diameter, a film thickness and a total length and the length between the center of the two cores(which is the inner rectangle's length I'm assuming). Thanks

Rolls of window film 2014-02-14
From Travis:
This question is probably close to the same question as "roll of paper"

We have Rolls of Window Film that we are trying to figure out an equation for a spreadsheet that we can use to "inventory" our window film.

We use a caliper tool to measure the thickness of the roll in millimeters.

the core thickness = 1.90mm
Full Roll thickness(including core) = 9.08mm to 9.12mm
Film thickness = 0.06

Full Roll of Film is supposed to average 1200" of film

What equation could we use to get the approximate inches left remaining on the roll if we measured the roll including the core with the Caliper tool in Millimeters?

A roll of film 2008-10-16
From John:
I need to know how to calculate the build up on a roll of film is calculated. Example: I start with a 6" diameter core, and I start winding .005" thick film on the core, so I am adding a total of .010" to the diameter each wrap. If I continue to do this for a total length of film of 3000 feet, what will the roll diameter be? So what I need is the formula to perform this type of calculation. Can you help me? I want to be able to plug the formula in a spread sheet and to be able to input a core diameter, a film thickness and a total length and get a roll diameter.

Perfecting an ideal gambling system 2005-03-06
From Gaz:
I am a screenwriter, currently in the fortunate position of having the development of a Screenplay funded by the South Australian Film Corporation. The (anti)hero of this screenplay is a statistician whose life is falling apart around him, thanks in part to his obsession with perfecting an "ideal" gambling system.
