MSI = 1,000 square inches

MMSI = 1,000,000 square inches

CALCULATE THE MSI OF SHEET MATERIAL

Formula:

width of sheet in inches x length of the sheet in inches / 1000 = MSI

Example:

12 in x 18 in / 1000 = .216 MSI

CALCULATE THE MSI OF ROLL MATERIAL

Formula: width of roll in inches x 12 x length of material in feet / 1000 = MSI
Example: 12 in x 12 x 5000 ft / 1000 = 720 MSI

CALCULATE THE LENGTH OF MATERIAL WITH A KNOWN MSI

Formula:

MSI x 1000 / (width of the material in inches x 12) = length of material in feet

Example:

You receive an invoice that says 1440 MSI. You know the material is 13 wide, but you

1440 x 1000 / (13 x 12) = 9,230.77 ft

CALCULATE THE WIDTH OF MATERIAL WITH A KNOWN MSI

Formula:

MSI x 1000 / (length of material in feet x 12) = width of material in inches

Example:

You receive an invoice that says 720 MSI. You know you received 5,000 feet of materia

720 x 1000 / (5000 x 12) = 12 in

CALCULATE PRICE PER SHEET AND PER MSI FOR SHEET MATERIAL
Formula:
Formula:

Price per sheet / MSI = Price per MSI

Price per MSI x MSI = Price per sheet
