Looking to buy new carpet, some give the carpet 'face' weight in oz/cubic yd's others in oz/sq yd.
I can't seem to find an online cal. to covert these. :BangHead:
I'm trying to compare prices.
Thanks Brad

Someone may be confusing face weight and density. This may help...

Thank you so much Sluckey, it was a great help to Pam and I. (That link has many other links so you get the full picture of what to look for.)
Looks like we made a pretty good to very good choice. :icon_biggrin:

there are 9 sqft in in a sq yard. (3 feet to a yard), square that number If you want 4 oz per sqft then you want 36 oz in a sqyd. divide by 9 to go the other way.
When you think about it, you have oz, a volume/weight (density plays a factor) measurement, mixed with area. that oz/area has volume displacement associated with it.
was that troy oz, fluid oz (bad Houston and now Tampa wet carpet joke), or common oz? :icon_biggrin:
On the volume side, 27 cuft in cubic yard. 3 x 3 x 3. You may have to use it, because you may have to dispose of the old carpet.
I'm glad you didn't ask how long would my fifth of whiskey last if I put a tsp a day into my morning coffee. (I lost a fifth of Crown Royal to some else's coffee once upon a time, I got the last shot)

a pun factor, face weight, because of F=ma just don't ask me to provide mass to weight conversion I put that book away five years ago.
