Estimated burn time74.2hours
Wax mass519.5g
Effective burn rate7g/h

How it works

  1. 1Volume = π × (7/2)² × 15 = 577.3 cm³
  2. 2Mass = 577.3 × 0.9 = 519.5 g
  3. 3Burn time = 519.5 ÷ (7 × 1.0) = 74.2 hours
Mass assumes a cylinder with wax density ~0.9 g/cm³ (beeswax ~0.96 runs ~7% longer); the base rate of 7 g/h suits standard pillar candles and rises with diameter. Drafts, room temperature and wick trimming also matter - trim to ~5 mm before each light. Treat results as procurement estimates.
