Candle Performance Guides · Jar Geometry
You cannot look this up. There is no published appropriate rate for a candle of a given size, and this page is not going to invent one. What it will do is give you three ways to judge the number you measured — against the pool it has to maintain, against the wax your jar holds, and against your own other candles.
0.35 g/h·cm²
your own 10 g/h, normalised: 10 ÷ 28.27 cm² of pool in a 6 cm jar. The same 10 g/h across a 10 cm jar is 0.13 — one number, two completely different candles · jars from ₹31.86 each, CSI live pricing, September 2026
Quick answers — read this first
Is 10 g per hour too fast? Unanswerable as asked, and treat anyone who answers it with suspicion. 10 g/h is a 12-hour candle in a 120 g jar and a 50-hour candle in a 500 g one — same rate, same wick, same wax. Before "fast" means anything, the rate has to be divided by something.
So what do I divide it by? Pool area first. Measure the molten pool's diameter when it reaches the glass, convert to area, and divide. A 6 cm pool is 28.27 cm², so 10 g/h is 0.35 g/h per cm². Across a 10 cm pool the same rate is 0.13. Now you have a figure that can be compared between two of your own jars.
And the wick configuration? Divide again. Two wicks sharing 10 g/h is 5 g/h per wick. Per-wick rate is the only part of the figure that has any chance of transferring to a different candle — and it still has to be re-measured when it gets there.
What does CSI publish that I can check against? Jar dimensions, fill capacities and hot-pour limits, exactly as stated on the pages. Not burn times, not rates, and no wick diameters on the C1/C2 page. That absence is not an oversight — a wick's behaviour is a property of the candle it is in.
The short answer
Screen for safety before you judge the number: a climbing flame, a jar too hot to hold or soot on the glass disqualifies the candle whatever its rate. A fast candle you would not ship is not a measurement problem.
Normalise by the pool you measured, not the jar you bought: a page's stated 7 cm outer rim is not your pool diameter. Measure the molten pool across the glass and use that.
Then convert to hours against usable wax: rate alone cannot be good or bad. Rate against what the jar actually holds, minus what it leaves behind, is the figure your customer experiences.
The pool is the surface the wick has to keep molten, so it is the fairest thing to divide a rate by. Measure the pool itself — the diameter of the liquid wax where it meets the glass — not the dimension printed on the jar's page.
My candle consumes 10 g per hour — how do I know whether that is appropriate for my jar diameter and wick configuration?
You find out by dividing it, not by looking it up. There is no published appropriate grams-per-hour figure for any jar diameter or wick, and CSI publishes none — not on a wax page, not on a wick page, not on a jar page. So start with the three divisions that turn your rate into something comparable. By pool area: measure the molten pool across the glass, convert with area = πr², and divide. A 6 cm pool is 28.27 cm², making 10 g/h into 0.35 g/h per cm²; the same rate across the Apothecary jar's stated 10 cm is 0.13. By fill: 10 g/h is 7 hours of gross life in a 70 gm votive, 12 hours in a 120 gm jar, 15 in a 150 gm one and 50 in a 500 g apothecary — before you subtract the wax the candle leaves behind. By wick: if two wicks share that 10 g/h, the figure you carry to another candle is 5 g/h per wick, measured. Then ask the only question that has an objective answer: does the candle pass on safety? A flame that climbs over a session, a glass too hot to hold, soot creeping up the inside — those disqualify a candle whatever the arithmetic says, and a wick can be too large well before the flame looks alarming. Finally, compare it with your own other SKUs on the same wick family, which is the only genuine benchmark you will ever own. The measurement itself is in how to measure grams of wax consumed per hour, and the reason to stay in this currency is in grams per hour versus total hours.
One line: 10 g/h is neither good nor bad until it is divided by your pool area, your fill and your wick count — and no published figure exists to compare it against, which is why you compare it against your own candles.
To compare one rate across two geometries you need two jars and a bracket of wicks: Amber Shiny Glass Jar at ₹47.20 each with a stated 6 cm diameter, Apothecary Glass Candle Jar from ₹212.40 at a stated 10 cm, and Eco Candle Wicks at ₹5.90 (C1) and ₹9.44 (C2) each.
Why nobody can tell you whether 10 g/h is appropriate
A rate without a denominator is a number looking for an argument.
The question feels like it should have a table behind it. Jar diameter down the side, wick size across the top, acceptable grams per hour in the cells. Makers ask us for that table regularly, and the honest answer is that it would be fiction. Here is precisely why.
Because the same rate is two different candles. 10 g/h in a 120 gm jar gives roughly twelve hours of gross life. 10 g/h in a 500 g apothecary gives fifty. If a cell in that imaginary table said "10 g/h is appropriate", it would be endorsing both at once, and those are not remotely the same product.
Because the wick range has no graded ladder. CSI lists two Eco cotton sizes — Thin (C1) and Thick (C2) — plus wooden wicks and cotton braided wicks. Of all the wick pages, only two state any diameter at all: Eco Candle Wicks Loose is described as "designed specifically for 2 inch diameters", and Cotton Braided Wicks Ready Made as "engineered for large-diameter candles exceeding 8 cm" with a stated wick height of 10.16 cm. The workhorse C1/C2 page states no diameter whatsoever; the sizes appear only as variant names. So "wick down one size" is frequently not an available move — there is no intermediate rung between C1 and C2 to step onto. What you can do is bracket candidates across type and count and burn-test them, which is how this series handles wick selection throughout.
Because your pool is not your jar's catalogue dimension. A jar page states the outer rim, or the base, or the overall width — the 150 gram jar states an outer rim of about 7 cm and a base of about 6.5 cm, and the glass has thickness. Your melt pool is the liquid surface inside the glass at whatever height the wax has reached, and it changes as the candle goes down. The only pool diameter worth dividing by is the one you measured.
And because load, colour and wax all sit inside your figure. Two candles identical but for the fragrance can differ in hours; heavy loading or heavy dye can change how a wick performs. Those effects are real and this series tests them one variable at a time — but they mean your 10 g/h belongs to that recipe in that jar, not to a wick size.
The mistake: treating someone else's number as a target. A figure quoted in a forum, printed by a competitor or implied by a wick chart describes a candle you have never seen: unknown fill, unknown pool, unknown session length, unknown trimming. Chase it and you will change your wick to match a stranger's jar. The useful comparison is always internal — your new candle against your approved one, measured the same way. The same logic applies to a competitor's hours claim, which is taken apart in my 200 g candle lasts 22 hours while competitors claim 35–40.
The safety screen that comes before the number
Before you normalise anything, run the screen. These observations are not inputs to an optimisation — they are pass-or-fail, and a candle that fails one does not ship regardless of how its rate compares.
Pass or fail, before the arithmetic
What to look for during the session, and what it means for your 10 g/h
Observation
Verdict
What it does to your rate question
Flame grows taller as the session goes on
Fail — stop the test
The rate you measured belongs to a candle you cannot sell. Bracket a lower-power option and start again
Glass too hot to hold comfortably
Fail
Same. The number is irrelevant until the candle is safe to use as intended
Soot marking the inside of the glass
Fail
Your rate is being inflated by incomplete combustion as well as by wick power
Flame steady at a modest height all session
Pass
Now the rate is worth dividing and comparing
Mushrooming on the wick tip between trims
Investigate
Often a wick-and-load interaction rather than wick size alone
Wick drowning or flame shrinking
Investigate the other direction
A low rate from a struggling wick is not a long candle, it is a stalled one
The important trap here is that a wick can be too large before anything looks wrong. A candle can present a clean, steady, attractive flame and still be consuming wax faster than the design intends, which is exactly the case this series examines in can a wick be too large even if the flame does not look dangerously tall. That is the reason the screen is necessary but not sufficient — you still have to divide the number. For the flame symptom on its own, CSI's flame too high guide covers the fixes.
Normalising by pool area: the one division that compares across jars
The wick's job is to keep a pool of molten wax from edge to edge. A wider jar is a bigger surface to keep liquid, so it is reasonable to expect a wider candle to consume more grams per hour — which means grams per hour per square centimetre of pool is a fairer figure to carry between your own vessels than grams per hour alone.
The arithmetic is one line: area = π × (pool diameter ÷ 2)², then rate ÷ area. The table below runs your measured 10 g/h across the pool diameters implied by jars CSI actually stocks, with each page's stated dimension beside it so you can see what the catalogue does and does not tell you.
Your 10 g/h across six stated jar geometries · pool area normalisation
Same rate, six jars — and what each product page actually states
Worked out above: area = π × (d ÷ 2)². 5.3 cm → 22.06 cm² · 6 cm → 28.27 · 7 cm → 38.48 · 7.5 cm → 44.18 · 8 cm → 50.27 · 10 cm → 78.54. Normalised rate = 10 ÷ area: 0.453, 0.354, 0.260, 0.260, 0.260, 0.127 g/h per cm², rounded in the table. Every dimension quoted is the figure the product page states, which is an outer or overall measurement — your pool is narrower and must be measured. The 10 g/h is the reader's own measurement; no CSI page publishes a rate, and the normalised figures are arithmetic on the reader's number, not a standard.
Two cautions about this figure, because it is useful rather than magic. It is not a specification — nobody publishes an acceptable range for it, this page does not either, and the same wax at a different load will shift it. And it is only comparable between candles you measured the same way, at the same stage of the jar, with the same session length. Used that way it does one job extremely well: it tells you whether your new 7 cm SKU is working its wick harder or easier than the 6 cm SKU you already approved.
How to measure the pool diameter honestly
Wait until the pool stops spreading — usually well into a three- or four-hour session — then measure the liquid surface across its widest point with a steel rule held above the rim, not pushed into the wax. If the pool has not reached the glass, that is your pool diameter, not the jar's: a candle with a 5 cm pool in a 7 cm jar is doing 5 cm of work and leaving a ring behind, and normalising against 7 cm would flatter it badly. Note the pool diameter in the same log row as the weights. That case — long hours bought by leaving wax on the glass — is the subject of a long burn time with a thick wall of unmelted wax.
The same 10 g/h across six CSI fills
This is the table that kills the question. Hold the rate absolutely constant at the 10 g/h you measured, and change only the vessel. Gross hours is fill ÷ rate; usable hours subtracts whatever your candle leaves behind, which you can only know by burning one to extinction and weighing the jar.
Fill ÷ 10 g/h · stated fill capacities, CSI live pricing September 2026
One measured rate, six vessels, and a 10× spread in life
Worked out above: gross hours = stated fill ÷ 10 g/h. The residue column multiplies gross hours by 0.92 purely to show the shape of the correction — 8% is an illustration, not a figure CSI publishes or recommends, and your own residue comes from scraping and weighing one finished jar. Jar prices: Heart Cutout Velvet Jar ₹45 at every listed pack; Clear Glass Votive Jar 70 gram ₹159.30 for 5 and ₹318.60 for 10, ₹31.86 each; Amber Shiny Glass Jar ₹47.20 for 1 and ₹236 for 5; Clear Glass Jar with Golden Lid ₹944 for 10 and ₹1,888 for 20, ₹94.40 each; Apothecary 500 gm ₹212.40 and 700 gm ₹250. The 10 g/h is the reader's own measured rate.
Look at the spread: 5 hours to 70 hours from a single unchanged rate. That is a 14-fold range in the thing a customer actually experiences, driven entirely by how much wax you poured. It is why "is 10 g/h appropriate?" cannot be answered without the vessel, and why this series insists on grams per hour as the engineering currency and hours as the last step rather than the first.
Do not read an ml figure as a gram figure. Several CSI jars state capacity in millilitres rather than grams — the Black Matte and White Matte jars both state a "fill weight of 200 ml" — and wax is not water. If your vessel's page gives you ml, the honest move is to weigh one filled jar and use that number for every calculation on this page. Writing 200 g into the hours column because the page said 200 ml will put an error straight into your label. The jar-choosing problem in general is covered in the ultimate guide to choosing glass jars.
Per wick, not per candle
"Wick configuration" means two things: which wick, and how many. The second is the one your rate can actually be divided by, and it changes the figure dramatically.
10 g/h divided by wick count
What transfers to another candle, and what does not
Configuration
Per-wick rate at 10 g/h total
What you can do with that figure
Single wick
10.0 g/h per wick
Compare directly against your other single-wick SKUs on the same wick type
Two wicks
5.0 g/h per wick
Estimate a starting point for a twin-wick candle in another jar — then measure it, because wicks in one pool influence each other
Three wicks
3.3 g/h per wick
Ask first whether three are needed at all; each one is a cost and a consumption source
One wooden wick
10.0 g/h per wick
Not comparable with a cotton figure. Wooden and cotton are different families and need their own baselines
Be careful with the middle rows. Per-wick rate is a planning number, not a prediction: two wicks in one pool share heat, so doubling a single-wick rate rarely lands exactly on the measured twin-wick figure. It is a sound way to choose what to test next and a poor way to decide what to print. The multi-wick arithmetic has its own guide in determining whether all three wicks are necessary, and the twin-wick trade-off in switching from two large wicks to two smaller ones.
What CSI's range gives you to work with, stated plainly: two Eco cotton sizes with no published diameter, cotton braided wicks stated for candles exceeding 8 cm, a loose Eco wick stated for 2 inch diameters, and imported wooden wicks with no stated size. That is a bracket, not a ladder. If your 10 g/h turns out to be more wick power than your jar needs, the realistic next test is often a different type or one fewer wick rather than a nominally smaller version of what you have — and the honest version of that argument is in testing adjacent wick sizes for the lowest acceptable wick power.
The CSI principle
There is no appropriate grams per hour. There is only your rate, your pool, your fill — and whether the candle is safe and sells.
We could print a tidy wick-to-diameter chart and sell more wicks with it. We publish what our pages state instead: two of our wick listings mention a diameter and the rest do not, because a wick's behaviour belongs to the candle it sits in. The compensation for that honesty is that once you have measured your own candle, nobody's chart can talk you out of it.
Three tests that let you judge your own number
Run these in order. Each one narrows the question, and none of them requires a figure from anyone else.
1
Test one: does it survive the safety screen?Burn a cured unit for a full three- to four-hour session and watch the flame at each half hour. A flame that climbs, a glass too hot to hold or soot on the inside is a stop, not a data point. If it fails here, the rate is irrelevant and your next step is a lower-power candidate — not a recalculation.
2
Test two: measure the pool and normaliseAt the end of the session, measure the liquid pool across its widest point. Compute area = πr², divide your rate by it, and write the result beside the row. For a 6 cm pool and 10 g/h that is 0.35 g/h per cm². One figure on its own means nothing; its job is to be compared in step four.
3
Test three: convert to the hours your customer getsWeigh one filled jar to get your real fill rather than the catalogue figure, then burn one unit to extinction and weigh the residue. Usable wax ÷ rate is the candle's honest life. If that number is comfortably above what you intend to claim, your 10 g/h is appropriate for this product — which is what "appropriate" can actually mean.
4
Test four: compare against your own other SKUsLine up the normalised figures for every candle you have measured. A new SKU sitting far above the others on the same wick family is working its wick harder, and that is worth investigating even if it passed steps one to three. This internal table is the only benchmark you will ever legitimately own, and it gets better with every SKU you add to it.
5
Then change exactly one thingIf you decide the candle is too fast, change the wick type or the count — one variable, three units, same wax, same jar, same load, same session length — and re-measure. Resist the urge to change the wax at the same time; a paired test with two variables answers nothing. The diagnostic sequence across all five variables is in diagnosing a fast-burning candle.
Bracketing wick candidates is cheap: Eco Candle Wicks Thin (C1) 10 for ₹59, Thick (C2) 20 for ₹188.80, Cotton Braided Wicks 10 for ₹120 and Performance Wooden Wicks 10 for ₹590 cover four families for under ₹1,000.

Narrow pool · stated 6 cm diameter
Amber Shiny Glass Jar with Black Lid
The small end of the comparison, and one of the few CSI jars that states a plain diameter: "6 cm diameter, 6.5 cm height" with a stated capacity of 120 gm. That makes it the easiest vessel to normalise against — a 6 cm pool is 28.27 cm², so a measured 10 g/h in this jar is 0.35 g/h per cm² and roughly 12 hours of gross life before residue. Note that the page's body text describes a black jar with a golden lid despite the amber-and-black title, so buy on the handle and the stated dimensions rather than the prose. Available singly at ₹47.20, which is what you want when you are pouring three units of one geometry.
The wide end, and the vessel that makes the argument of this page unarguable. Its page states an outer rim and base of approximately 10 cm, a fill capacity of ~500 g to 700 g across two sizes, and "safe for hot-pour up to 85°C" — which overrides a wax page stating a higher pour, as CSI 464's 80–90°C does. At 10 cm the pool is 78.54 cm², so your 10 g/h normalises to 0.13 g/h per cm² and the same rate yields 50 hours gross in the 500 gm size. A jar this wide is also where single-wick candles most often fail to reach the glass, so it is the right place to test a bracket of two and three-wick configurations. The page gives the same dimensions for both sizes.
The bracket most makers work with, and the clearest illustration of why your own measurement is the only evidence available. The page states that these wicks "pair perfectly with soy wax, beeswax, and other eco-friendly waxes" and states no diameter and no jar size; C1 and C2 exist only as variant names. Pricing is flat at ₹5.90 per C1 and ₹9.44 per C2 from 10 pieces to 1,000, so there is no cost penalty whatsoever for buying a development pack of ten of each. Note that the C2 10-piece variant is currently sold out — the 20-piece pack at ₹188.80 is the smallest available Thick option. Monika Deep's review notes the "Quality of the wick is good for jar candles".
Worth knowing about precisely because its page states something the others do not: it is "engineered for large-diameter candles exceeding 8 cm", with a stated wick height of 10.16 cm. If your 10 g/h came out of a wide jar on a single Eco wick that never quite reached the glass, this is a candidate to bracket against — it is the only CSI cotton listing whose own page points at large diameters. Flat at ₹12 per wick from 10 pieces to 1,000. Do not read "ready made" as pre-tabbed: neither the title nor the description says tabbed, and CSI lists no product described that way.

Why trust this guide
CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. The commercially convenient thing for a wick seller to publish is a diameter-to-wick chart with confident numbers in every cell. We have not, because two of our wick pages state a diameter range and the rest state none — and inventing the missing cells would sell wicks while costing makers batches. This page gives you the arithmetic instead, and the arithmetic belongs to you.
Every price, dimension and capacity here comes from live CSI stock in September 2026 and links to the product page, where current pricing always takes precedence. Jar dimensions and fill capacities are quoted exactly as the pages state them, including where they are given in millilitres rather than grams and where the same dimensions are listed for two sizes. Wick information is quoted the same way: Cotton Braided Wicks "engineered for large-diameter candles exceeding 8 cm" with a 10.16 cm wick height, Eco Candle Wicks Loose "designed specifically for 2 inch diameters", and no stated diameter at all on the C1/C2 page or the wooden wick page. The Apothecary jar and the 150 gram jar family state "safe for hot-pour up to 85°C", which governs over a wax page stating a higher pour. The 10 g/h is the reader's own measurement and every normalised figure here is arithmetic on it — no CSI wax, wick or jar page publishes a burn time or a consumption rate, and none is stated or implied for any product on this page.

Frequently asked questions
What is a normal grams-per-hour burn rate for a candle?
There isn't a published one, and that is the honest answer rather than an evasion. A rate only becomes meaningful when divided by the pool it maintains and the fill it has to get through: 10 g/h is 0.35 g/h per cm² in a 6 cm jar and 0.13 in a 10 cm one, and it is a 12-hour candle at a 120 g fill and a 50-hour candle at 500 g. Any single "normal" figure would have to be wrong for most of those cases. Judge yours against your own measured SKUs.
How do I work out my melt pool area?
Measure the liquid pool's widest diameter at the end of a full session, then use area = π × (diameter ÷ 2)². A 6 cm pool is 28.27 cm², 7 cm is 38.48 cm² and 10 cm is 78.54 cm². Use the pool you measured, not the jar's catalogue dimension — product pages state outer rims, bases or overall widths, the glass has thickness, and a pool that has not reached the glass is smaller again. If your pool is 5 cm in a 7 cm jar, normalise against 5 cm and investigate the ring you are leaving behind.
Does a wider jar need a bigger wick?
A wider jar presents a larger surface to keep molten, so it generally needs more wick power — but "more power" can mean a different wick type or more wicks rather than a bigger version of the same one, and CSI's range makes that distinction concrete. Only two CSI wick pages state a diameter: Cotton Braided Wicks for candles exceeding 8 cm, and Eco Candle Wicks Loose for 2 inch diameters. There is no graded size ladder above Thin and Thick, so the honest approach is a bracket of candidates, burn-tested in your own jar.
If I have two wicks, should I halve my burn rate before comparing?
Divide by the count to get a per-wick figure — 10 g/h across two wicks is 5 g/h per wick — and treat the result as a planning number for choosing your next test, not a prediction. Wicks sharing a single pool influence each other's heat, so a twin-wick candle rarely consumes exactly twice a single wick's measured rate. Per-wick figures also do not cross families: a wooden wick's rate is not comparable with a cotton wick's.
My rate looks high but the candle burns beautifully. Is that a problem?
Possibly, and it is the most commonly missed case in candle development. A wick can be too large well before the flame looks wrong: the pool reaches the glass quickly, the throw is strong, nothing soots — and the customer gets fewer hours than the jar should give. That is the trade this series keeps returning to, because hot throw and a fast full melt pool are both achievable by over-wicking. The hours side of the bargain is only visible in grams per hour.
Does CSI publish a burn rate or burn time for its jars and wicks?
No. No CSI wax, wick or jar page states a burn time, a burn rate or hours per gram, and nothing here estimates one for any product. What the pages do state is quoted exactly on this page: jar diameters and heights, fill capacities (some in grams, some in millilitres), hot-pour limits of 85°C on the 150 gram jar family and the Apothecary jar, the 8 cm-plus diameter wording on Cotton Braided Wicks, and the absence of any diameter on the C1/C2 page.
