    Note: see dimensional lumber for a full discussion of the relationship of actual and nominal dimensions. Briefly, for softwoods, to convert nominal to actual, subtract 1 ⁄ 4 inch (6 mm) for dimensions under 2 inches; subtract 1 ⁄ 2 inch (13 mm) for dimensions over 2 inches and under 8 inches; and subtract 3 ⁄ 4 inch (19 mm) for larger ...

  4. Real versus nominal value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_versus_nominal_value

    The nominal size may not match any dimension of the product, but within the domain of that product the nominal size may correspond to a large number of highly standardized dimensions and tolerances. Nominal sizes may be well-standardized across an industry, or may be proprietary to one manufacturer. Applying the nominal size across domains ...

    The most common dimension is 1.2 by 2.4 metres (3 ft 11 in × 7 ft 10 in) or the slightly larger imperial dimension of 4 feet × 8 feet. Plies vary in thickness from 1.4 mm to 4.3 mm. The number of plies—which is always odd—depends on the thickness and grade of the sheet. Roofing can use the thinner 16-millimetre (5 ⁄ 8 in) plywood.

  9. I-joist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-joist

    Invented in 1969, the I-joist is an engineered wood product that has great strength in relation to its size and weight. The biggest notable difference from dimensional lumber is that the I-joist carries heavy loads with less lumber than a dimensional solid wood joist. [1] As of 2005, approximately 50% of all wood light framed floors used I-joists.
