Liquid Line Test - Calculate Bundle Length

[Azid Reigns]

I am having a total brain fart and cannot remember for the life of me how the calculation works! I feel it should be the first calculation, but I...just...can't...remember!

I have 2 different solutions, with way different answers. Please help!

OK, 65 ounces dispensed out of a 3/8 (.75oz per ft.) poly-line. I am trying to figure out the actual line length based on this 65 ounces poured.

First Calculation

[djc]

86 feet. 86ft x .75 oz/ft = 65 oz.

[Azid Reigns]

86 feet. 86ft x .75 oz/ft = 65 oz.

Thanks for the answer but needed to know how to get to that answer.

Hmm, wonder where the rest of my post went? The answer is what I thought.

First Calculation
65oz. divided by .75 = 86.666ft.

Second Calculation
65oz. multiplied by .75 = 48.75ft

Now looking at your math, I should have done the math both ways to verify and confirm. If I would have taken 48.75 x .75 oz./ft, this only gives me 36.56oz.

So, the CORRECT way to get actual line length out in the field is:
Ounces divided by the line size equals line length. (confirm answer by taking - ft. x line size = total ounces poured)
3/16 is 0.16oz./ft.
1/4 is 0.25oz./ft.
5/16 is 0.50oz./ft.
3/8 is 0.75oz./ft

Copied, pasted and an easy excel page to be made.
Thanks again djc

Just to be clear, it isn't ounces divided by line size, it is ounces divided by the volume per foot in the line.
