A four-page TAPPI technical information paper providing equations and worked examples for determining winder sets per reel and related reel dimensions.

TAPPI TIP 0502-02 provides practical calculations for paper mill superintendents, engineers, and production personnel working with winders and reels. The document explains how to determine the number of roll sets per reel, calculate the reel diameter required for specified roll dimensions and set counts, and determine the measurement from the outside edge of the reel to the reel core. It includes formulas, variable definitions, worked metric and inch examples, safety considerations, guidance on accounting for paper losses at the reel core, keywords, and publication information. The document is delivered as a four-page PDF in English.

Application Scope: Paper mills, papermaking operations, winder setup, reel sizing, roll production planning, and engineering calculations involving reels, winders, and cores.
