Method and formula

Turns=Fab Thickness (mm)OD (mm)+(OD (mm)Fab Thickness (mm))2+4×Fab Thickness (mm)×(Fabric Length (m)×1000)π2×Fab Thickness (mm)Roll Diameter (mm)=2×Turns×Fab Thickness (mm)+OD (mm)\begin{aligned} \text{Turns} &= \frac{\text{Fab Thickness (mm)} - \text{OD (mm)} + \sqrt{(\text{OD (mm)} - \text{Fab Thickness (mm)})^2 + \frac{4 \times \text{Fab Thickness (mm)} \times (\text{Fabric Length (m)} \times 1000)}{\pi}}}{2 \times \text{Fab Thickness (mm)}} \\[1em] \text{Roll Diameter (mm)} &= 2 \times \text{Turns} \times \text{Fab Thickness (mm)} + \text{OD (mm)} \end{aligned}
