Galvanized Coil & Sheet Calculations

Calculation for Determining Average Decimal of Coil/Sheet

  • Coil: Scale weight (actual weight) divided by 40.8 divided by Width of Coil in Feet divided by Linear Footage.
  • Sheet: Net weight (less dunnage) or actual weight of skid divided by 40.8 divided by square feet of sheet divided by sheet count.

Calculation for Total Square Footage

  • Coil: Width in Feet X (times) Linear Footage.
  • Sheet: Length in inches X (times) width in inches divided by 144 X (times) sheet count.
  • Sheet: Length in feet X width in feet X sheet count.

Calculation to Convert Zinc Coatings

Zinc Coatings- How to Convert
1 oz/ft2 = 305.15 g/m2
To convert from oz/ft2 to g/m2, multiply by 305.15
Example: G90 (0.90 oz/ft2) = Z275 (275 g/m2)

“Letter to the Editor: “A unique subscriber….” I am a unique subscriber to the Steel Market Update….I am in the plastic injection molding industry! So why do I read the Steel Market Update? SMU provides me with a condensed rolling picture of the steel industry which on one hand supplies us materials for the molds we build in-house and on the other hand provides materials to a competitive option for our customers (example: a fabricated metal housing for a medical instrument versus an injection molded plastic housing?). In addition to understanding the current cost and supply direction of plastic resin and mold building materials, it is equally important I have insight into my indirect competitors supply/cost issues….SMU provides me with that insight! THANK YOU SMU, job well done!” – Tim Smock CEO Seaway Plastics Engineering, Inc
