Methodology
Paper density and calculation basis
Evidence status: needs-review.
Paper and board density requires a stated product structure and thickness convention.
method: Separate apparent sheet and apparent bulk density conventions
Source basis: ISO, ISO 534:2011 — Paper and board: thickness, density and specific volume. Public standard scope. https://www.iso.org/standard/53060.html Applicability: context-only.
Identify product and applicable apparent-density method.
ISO 534 excludes corrugated fibreboard; the bulk method is unsuitable for board.
For this direction, mass is calculated as volume multiplied by density after normalizing the units to cubic meters and kilograms. The resulting page multiplier is 0.8 t per m^3.
Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
