What is the pound per linear foot on 26GA through 14GA Galvanized Metal
March 26, 2009
The company I work for has recently started using a new computer system for inventory, and I wanted to make sure I have the correct conversion factor for computing Pounds to Linear Foot for the following Galvanized metals:
26GA, 24GA, 22GA, 20GA, 18GA, 16GA & 14GA
Can anyone help me?

Question lacks some info.
in "pounds" do you mean weight or money? £
In linear feet, what width are you considering? Surely a linear foot of say 4ft wide is twice as heavy as a foot of 2ft wide material?
Unless I misse something here?

That would depend on how wide the strip is. Then it would depend on how close the whole coil is to being the exact GA. Finally it would depend on the thickness of the galvanizing.

We have both G60 & G90 coils and all coils are 60 inches wide. By pounds I mean weight not money. Also the coils are never exact by weight, but I was wanting the actual weight per linear foot (assuming it is exact).
Thanks for your help!
