What is the Formula for BF?

Published in Material Science 1 min read

The formula for Bursting Factor (BF) is calculated by dividing the bursting strength of a material by its grammage (GSM).

In simpler terms:

Bursting Factor = Bursting Strength / Grammage (GSM)

Where:

  • Bursting Strength: The measure of the material's resistance to rupture when pressure is applied.
  • Grammage (GSM): The weight of the paper or material in grams per square meter.
