Principle: Weight variation test is the test by variation of weight from tablet to tablet determined. The following formula is which can be used, Weight variation= Iw-Aw  Aw × 100% Iw = Individual weight of tablet Aw = Average weight of a tablet The acceptable range according to USP: Due to a variety of reasons, excessively overweight on tablets may be problematic.
