Beam capacity is the geometric annulus volume and assumes the warp is built level to the flange, which in practice is not done - a beam is normally wound short of the flange for handling and to avoid damage to the outer ends, so usable capacity runs below the figure here. Packing density should be measured on a full beam rather than assumed, since it moves with warping tension, yarn type and whether the warp is sized. Ends per centimetre is the mean across the beam width and does not describe the reed plan or any deliberate variation in end spacing. The beams-required figure is arithmetic and does not consider whether splitting a warp across beams is acceptable for the fabric, which depends on the loom and the style.
