lines and engraving volume

Do you know how to quickly convert your anilox rolls lines and volume values between metric and imperial unit measurements? You can use these formulas:

For volume:

Volume in cm³/m² = Volume in BCM/in² x 1,55 (*)
Volume in BCM/in² = Volume in cm³/m² ÷ 1,55

(*) 1,54899999999999 rounded to 1,55

For screen-count:

Screen-count in LPC = Screen-count in LPI÷ 2,54
Screen-count in LPI= Screen-count in LPC x 2,54

where:

BCM/in² = Billion Cubic Microns per square inch
cm³/m² = cubic centimeters per square meter
LPI = lines per inch
LPC = lines per centimeter

Abbreviations and habits:

Volume in imperial expression (BCM/in²) is usually indicated only with the acronym BCM.
Volume in metric expression (cm³/m²) is also indicated as cc/m², or just cc, or -less properly- as grams/m² or even just (and still inproperly) grams, referring to the weight of the dry ink that was transferred, but that’s a different thing.

Below is attached volume chart for some default values.
