Sheet - conversion between weight and area

A short time ago we wrote a blog post about determining how an increase in resin price would affect the sheet price. The calculation involved converting a $ per pound price into a $ per square foot price.

To assist Polycarbonate (and other Polymer) sheet users with this calculation, we have put a simple spreadsheet on our website. This spreadsheet is available to be downloaded and shared. We just ask users not to remove the logo or the disclaimer.

The spreadsheet includes three simple calculations:

1) Given the dimensions of a sheet it allows the user to calculate the sheet weight.

2) Given the dimensions of a sheet and the price in $/lb, it allows the user to calculate the price in $/sqft.

3) Given the dimensions of a sheet and the price in $/sqft, it allows the user to calculate the price in $/lb.

We hope that the spreadsheet is useful and we intend to keep it updated with any feedback and comments that we receive.
