Basis Weight Field Test The basis weight should be indicated on the ream label. If the label is not available, a simple field test can identify the basis weight of paper. The basis weight of paper is equal to the weight of 2000 sheets of paper, or 4 full reams. Weigh a full ream on a postal scale and then multiply that weight by 4. Or weigh 10 sheets of paper, divide that weight by 10, multiply by 2000, and then divide by 16. Table 2-8. Determining Basis Weight of Paper Amount 4 reams 1 ream 10 sheets Formula weight = basis weight weight x4 = basis weight (weight divided by 10) x 2000 and then divide by 16 = basis weight Example: 10 sheets weigh 1.6 oz. 0.16 oz. x 2000 = 320 oz. 320 oz. ÷16 oz./lb = 20 lb paper 38 Chapter 2 Operating Requirements C4170-90959
