SAMPLE CALCULATIONS FOR ESTIMATING CORE WEIGHT
Density in g/cc: 7.20  
Lamination factor: 82%
  A

D (-4 mm) cm
Sample Core Dimension 20.3 10.2 7.6 14.2

Core Weight (estimated) = (Lam. factor) x (Density) x [(2 x A x C x D) + (2 x B x C x D) + (3.14 x C2 x D)]/1000 = 55 kg.
*Use this formula only for checking weight to ensure your design is within weight limits
(30 kg min., 225 kg max.). Also, be sure to check that outer perimeter is below 2.5 m.
