Weight equivalence table
Table 1-23. Weight equivalence table shows equivalent weights for different grades of
paper. A boldface type value indicates a commonly available standard weight for that grade.
Note
Text and book grades marked with an asterisk (*) actually calculate to 51, 61, 71, and 81 but
are rounded to standard book or text weights of 50, 60, 70, and 80.
