Candle Burn Time Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Candle Burn Time (BT) is:

\[ BT = \frac{W}{BR} \]

Where:

Candle Burn Time: The duration for which a candle can burn before it is completely consumed. It is dependent on the weight of the candle and the rate at which the wax is burned. This measurement is useful for consumers to understand how long they can expect their candles to last under normal conditions.
Weight of the Candle (W): The total weight of the candle in grams.
Burn Rate (BR): The rate at which the candle burns, measured in grams per hour.

Let's say the weight of the candle is 200 grams and the burn rate is 10 grams per hour. Using the formula:

\[ BT = \frac{200}{10} \]

We get:

\[ BT = 20 \text{ hours} \]

So, the candle burn time is approximately 20 hours.
