Science - Paper / Paper Manufacturing
English term or phrase: lbs/ream
I only need to know how would I put into metric units the "ream" part, I found out that 1 ream = 480 sheets of paper or 500 printing sheets, but how would I put lbs/ream in metric units (the pound conversion is not a problem). (¿X kg/500 hojas?)
Here is a sample sentence:
"...the paper or paperboard has a basis weight of from about 8 to about 250 lbs/ream, the tie layer has a basis weight of from about 0.1 to about 5 lbs/ream, the oil resistant layer has a basis weight of from about 0.1 to about 20 lbs/ream, and the heat seal layer has a basis weight of from about 1 to about 15 lbs/ream."

basis weight = gramaje


Explanation:
No hay una conversión sencilla porque el peso depende del espesor y las dimensiones del papel. Como las dimensione métricas estándar del papel difieren de las diomensiones estándas usadas en pulgadas,


Aquí tienes algunos gramajes estándar:

Yo seguiría buscando gramaje peso papel conversión en google pare ver si das con lo que te hace falta.

Suerte!

Recuerdo que hace muchos años, cuando me tocó trabajr en un proyecto relacionado con diferentes clases de papel, tuvimos que pedirle al cliente que proporcionara las conversiones adecuadas.

Al fin y al cabo, auque podemos y solemos proporcionar conversiones, cuando esto implica más tiempo de lo razonable, es algo que se debe pagar aparte o que el cliente debe hacer.

agree  Tomás Cano Binder, BA, CT: Clarísimo. Sin saber el tamaño de las hojas no podemos determinar el gramaje por superficie, esencial para poder convertir a gramos por metro cuadrado.
