Paper Weight Equivalence Table (Approximate)
Use this table to determine equivalent points in weight specifications
other than U.S. bond weight. For example, to determine the equivalent
of 20 lb. U.S. bond weight paper in U.S. cover weight, locate the bond
weight (in row 3, second column) and scan across the row to the cover
weight (in the fourth column). The equivalent is 28 lbs.
Shaded areas indicate a standard weight for that grade.
