// Note: diameters are in millimeters // Length is in meters (Pi * (((CurrentDiameter * CurrentDiameter) / 4) - ((CoreExternalDiameter * CoreExternalDiameter) / 4)) / (((((RollDiameterWhenNew * RollDiameterWhenNew) / 4) - ((CoreExternalDiameter * CoreExternalDiameter) / 4)) * Pi) / (RollLengthWhenNew * 1000))) / 1000 Click to copy

Knowing the dimensions of a roll when new, (the length, its external diameter and the core external diameter) allows you to know the length of the remaining material.
