CONVERTING TEMPERATURES LUMBER DIMENSIONS

N
Convert degrees Fahrenheit (F) to degrees Celsius (C) by following this NOMINAL - U.S. ACTUAL - U.S. (IN INCHES) METRIC
N
simple formula: Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature reading. Then 1×2 ¾ × 1½ 19 × 38 mm
b
multiply that number by 5⁄9. For example, 77°F - 32 = 45. 45 × 5⁄9 = 25°C. 1×3 ¾ × 2½ 19 × 64 mm
e
1×4 ¾ × 3½ 19 × 89 mm
To convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit, multiply the Celsius i
1×5 ¾ × 4½ 19 × 114 mm
temperature reading by 9⁄5. Then, add 32. For example,
1×6 ¾ × 5½ 19 × 140 mm
25°C × 9⁄5 = 45. 45 + 32 = 77°F.

Metric plywood panels are commonly available in two sizes:
2×8 1½ × 7¼ 38 × 184 mm
1,200 mm × 2,400 mm and 1,220 mm × 2,400 mm, which is roughly
2 × 10 1½ × 9¼ 38 × 235 mm
equivalent to a 4 × 8-ft. sheet. Standard and Select sheathing panels
2 × 12 1½ × 11¼ 38 × 286 mm
come in standard thicknesses, while Sanded grade panels are available in
3×6 2½ × 5½ 64 × 140 mm
