Board feet is the unit measure of rough lumber.
Linear feet is the unit measure of S4S lumber. (smooth 4 sides)
To convert board feet to lineal feet, divide the total board feet by the board's thickness in feet. For example, if you have 100 board feet of lumber that is 1 inch thick, you would divide 100 by 1, which equals 100 lineal feet.
There is no difference. 200 ft IS 200 linear feet.
Answer: 9,813.30 m = 32,195.866 feet.
A 1x8x12' piece of siding has 12 linear feet, as linear feet refers to the length of the board. The dimensions indicate that the board is 1 inch thick, 8 inches wide, and 12 feet long. Therefore, regardless of its thickness or width, the length is what determines the linear feet measurement.
Lineal foot can be measured on the ground. It is related to an actual measurement. Linear foot is a distance not necessarily measured along the ground. Also linear foot can refer to board feet.
That depends on how wide your board is. A six inch wide board will need 25 x 25 x 2 (1250) linear feet to cover the area. A three inch wide board will need 25 x 25 x 4 (2500) linear feet to cover the area.
if the board is 8 inches width by 8 foot long by 2 inches thick at $5.50 per linear board what is the price per board?
you can't straight convert a linear measure to an area measure... missing info. If the board is 12" wide, then the ratio is one to one. if the board is 6" wide, the linear footage needed would be double. It's a simple ratio. width of board in inches/12 * length in feet = square feet. length in feet = square feet * 12 / width
No they are differant units of measurement. Board feet, is actually a measurement of volume. 1 board foot is the volume of a board 12" wide by 1" thick by 1 foot long. So to calculate board foot you would also need to know the thickness. Whereas linear feet is a measurement of length, equal to 12 inches, in this case. You can also have linear inches, yards, furlongs, etc.
Square feet measure area and linear feet measure length. If a board is one (linear) foot long, that does not tell you how much area it covers, unless you also know the width.
Linear footage as referred to in wood or lumber is the length as you see it.For instance a 2 x 4 x 8, is 8 feet long. - In theoretical board feet this is actually 5.333 board feet or practically, 5.0 board feet. ( because a 2x4 is not really that dimension, but 1.5x3.5. )
In lumber, the term "2400" typically refers to the board footage of the lumber, which is calculated as the thickness (in inches) multiplied by the width (in inches) multiplied by the length (in feet) divided by 12. To convert board footage to linear feet, you need to know the thickness and width of the lumber. For instance, if you have 2x4 lumber, 2400 board feet would equal 1200 linear feet.
