The Best of Both Worlds Gets Better

Unfortunately, with more flute profiles on the scene, the problem of misidentification arises. Industry-wide standards have not been established, so F-flute = F-flute does not always hold true. The most accurate measure of any stock is its number of flutes per lineal foot.

The general rule of thumb holds that E-flute has approximately 90 flutes; F-flute, about 128 flutes per foot; and G- and N-flutes count 178 per foot.
