Caveman_Nick Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I have something that is 165 grams per meter. I need to know how much that is in grams per square yard...Help Is it grams per square meter, or does "per meter" have some different meaning based on a fixed width?

budlitebrad Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 1 meter = 1.0936133 yards 180.446 grams/yard? Does that seem right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) Assuming square meters. 1 yard = 0.9144 meter so 1 sq yd = 0.8361 sq m 165 (.8361) = 138 grams in a sq yd. (137.96 is mot rounded to the nearest gram) Edited May 13, 2008 by Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our guy here that does all of this is out of the office and i wanted to answer a chinese factory before I left today Here's the issue... If you are talking about "Square Yards" versus "Square Meters", that's one answer. If you are talking about "Yards" versus "Meters", with both bolts being the same width, that's another answer.

Ursa Majoris Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The US really should be on the metric system. Massive expense to solve a trivial issue. As demonstrated here, conversion isn't that hard and computers make it a problem that in effect does not exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big John Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The US really should be on the metric system. Around 1996, all new highway plans were to be done in metric and highway signs changed a few years after that. So I was doing a couple metric highway designs when in 1997, due to politics, all the metric stuff was killed. All new plans were back in English and metric signs became "optional", with only Oregon opting for some of those. So some projects had been designed and constructed in metric. And with my new job, the first project was a dormant project done is metric and was resurected by the state highway department and it was a metric project - and they told us they still wanted the final product in metric. So brack to that for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As demonstrated here, conversion isn't that hard and computers make it a problem that in effect does not exist. I guess I don't get where the massive expense would come in. I'm not suggesting that the US immediately switch to the metric system, but it seems pretty reasonable that it could be phased in over the course of, say, a decade or two. The English system is really quite idiotic: 12 inches to a foot, 3 feet to a yard, 1760 yards to a mile. 16 ounces to a pint, 2 pints to a quart, 4 quarts to a gallon. Stupid. There is a reason that scientists, even with their big brains and access to computers, use the metric system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
