Some measurements we've collected on fabric

These measurements are believed to be correct at the time of determination but are offered without guarantee for accuracy or correctness.  Please use them as a guide an estimate and order a sample if the dimension or weight is a critical element of the fabric for your usage.

Conversion Factors

This table contains approximate conversion factors.

Some examples

To convert oz/sq yard to total fabric weight use the following formula

• Weight per linear yard = fabric width / 36 * Weight /sq yard  * Total length of fabric in yards
  (As an example, let's calculate the weight of 7 yards of Harbor-Time.  Harbor Time is 62" wide so the weight of 7 yards is 62 / 36 * 11 * 7 =  132.6 oz, or 8.3 lbs.)

To convert oz/sq yard to g/sq m use the following formula

• Weight, oz per sq yd * 23.70 = Weight, grams per square meter
  (As an example, let's convert the weight of Harbor-Time, whose English weight is 11 oz/sq yd.  11* 23.70 = 261 g/sq m)

To convert mils to mm use the following formula

• Thickness in mils x 0.0254 = Thickness in millimeters
  (As an example, let's calculate the thickness of Harbor-Time, which is 16 mils (0.016") thick. 16 * 0.0254 = 0.41mm)
