Does anybody know what is a good publication or web site where I can get good old fashioned tables for weights of materials? By the cubic foot for concrete, gravel, water, etc. For lumber, dimensional lumber, studs, flooring, drywall, sub-flooring, roofing materials, siding materials, etc. by the linear foot or by 1″ thickness. Thanks guys.

There are some instances where multiple minisplits make sense.

try this
http://www.cmapc.com/tables
3rd from bottom of list is a table of weights
*b WBA At Your ServiceCouldn't get that to open. http://www.cmapc.com seems to be the home of CodeBuddy but nothing on the weight of the world.
*Perhaps what Zoot mentions has been changed to:http://www.cmapc.com/tables/WeightofMaterials.htmYou may want to see if you can pick up a copy of Pocket Ref by Thomas J. Glover, Sequoia Publishing, Littleton, Colorado. It has ten pages of weights of common materials with about fifty items per page. It only lists materials by lbs/cu.ft. so you would have to do a little math to get the various thicknesses, and it also doesn't have much on various proprietary products. It won't completely answer your needs but should help some. However, the Pocket Ref has a lot of conversion tables and other information that would make it worthwhile. I have seen it at a lot of bookstores and hardware stores and I assume that Amazon.com carries it. There is a web site:http://www.sequoiapublishing.com/pdt_pocketref.htmNot what you asked for, but there are "quick calculators" for figuring room areas and such at:http://www.get-a-quote.net/quickcalc/default.htmThere is a page of construction related links at:http://www.costbook.com/links/links.htmI haven't checked them out, but it is possible one of them has something like what you are looking for.
*Thanks for the replies. I'll check them all out. David
*You could acquire a copy of a building code book, such as the SBC, it will have an appendix with typical dead load weights by the SF and CF
