Convert European Board Specs to ECT
August 14, 2019
Jeff asks,
We have a customer that is based in Germany and is opening a branch in Tennessee.
They gave us some specs with the below board grades:
2.91BCB (alternative 2.91 AC)
2.70BC
2.91ACA
2.30BC
1.40C
We need to convert them to ECT values.
Do you have any information on how I can convert them?
Jeff, usually the metric equivalent to our pounds force per linear inch is expressed in kN/m but in this case I believe we are looking at kg-f/in so you need to divide their requirement by 0.038 to obtain the equivalent Imperial value. We have compiled a list of conversions that you may find helpful. (English Metric board conversions)
Conversions for grades listed above would be,
2.91BCB (alternative 2.91 AC) — 76 ECT BCB Triplewall or AC Doublewall
2.70BC — 71 ECT BC Doublewall
2.91ACA — 76 ECT ACA Triplewall
2.30BC — 61 ECT BC Doulbewall
1.40C — 37 ECT C Singlewall
