# = pounds
l.f. = linear feet
s.f. = square feet
b.f. = board feet = 12"x12"x1"
v.l.f. = vertical linear feet
c.f. = cubic feet = 12"x12"x12" = 144 cubic inches
C.Y. = cubic yards = 3'x3'x3' = 27 c.f.
CMU = concrete masonry unit = 8"x8"x16"
demo = demolition
labor hrs/unit = hand labor
In-Place and Salvage Mass = actual mass
Recycle/Waste Mass = broken mass in container

Example calculation:
1,000 square feet of acoustic ceiling tile (ACT) at 1 pound (#) per square foot is 1,000 S.F. x 1 #/S.F. = 1,000 #s x 1 ton per 2,000 #s = 0.5 tons

Assume 90% of the ACT is recoverable, 0.5 tons x 0.9 = 0.45 tons recoverable

Assume 10% of the ACT is not recoverable, 0.5 tons x 0.10 = 0.05 tons disposal
