First find the basis you are starting with in Column 1 follow the line
across to the scale you wish to |
|
convert to and multiply the original weight by the conversion factor. |
|
*EXAMPLE...You
have a 50# Offset and want to convert it to a Bond scale.
|
|
FIRST find the Offset in Column 1 |
|
NEXT follow the row across to the bond column which contains the
conversion factor. |
|
The conversion factor is .394 so we multiply 50# x .394 =
19.7# on the Bond Scale. |
