Hello,
I am attempting to figure out an accurate formula in order to accurately estimate the cost of a spiral wound paper tube containing multiple layers of paper of varying grades. The present formula I have is, ((ID + Wall thickness) * Wall Thickness * Basis Weight * (Length of Tube + 1.25) * Glue Factor). Any help is greatly appreciated.
