Aug 12, 2012 at 22:10 comment added Robert Atkins I'm Australian, but I'm in the States and the manufacturer lists everything in imperial units. Thanks for fixing it.
Aug 10, 2012 at 18:22 comment added mdma Sure - I'm from Europe, I would have happily done it in metric if you wrote all lengths in metric in the original post. PS: It still says 70 inches, I'll edit it.
Aug 10, 2012 at 17:42 comment added Robert Atkins You're right, it's 70 feet, not 70 inches. I've adjusted the maths. Join us in the 21st century in order to avoid this confusion in the future won't you please, America? :-P
Aug 10, 2012 at 16:15 comment added mdma Ah yes, hehe, or my mistake... I read it as 70 feet, but the OP does write 70 inches, seems very short.
Aug 10, 2012 at 16:07 comment added Hank @mdma: The original poster proposed a 70 inch coil, not 70 feet. Unless that was a typo on Robert's part.
Aug 10, 2012 at 14:48 comment added mdma Looks like there's a mistake - the surface area of 70 feet x 5/16" is 0.3125 x 3.141 x 70 x 12 = 824 sq inches, so larger than the morebeer. I think you forgot to multiply by the 70 ft by 12.
