Engineering CalculationLoom Production Calculator - Metres per Hour and per Day
Work out how much fabric a loom produces per hour, shift and day from its speed, picks per inch and efficiency.
Open the calculator →Formula
Production (m/h) = RPM × 60 × efficiency / (PPI × 39.37)
39.37 = inches per metre
Worked example
600 RPM, 60 PPI, 85 % efficiency
Production = 600 × 60 × 0.85 / (60 × 39.37) = 12.95 m/h = 311 m/day
Where engineers use it
- Weaving shed planning (Surat, Bhiwandi, Ichalkaranji and other clusters)
- Order delivery dates
- Looms needed for an order
