For Maximum hleghts at wind velocities other than 120 MPH, see Conversion Table 3B <br /> on the specification page for tables at the beginnIng of this section and example below. <br /> Note: <br /> For high velocity zones, convert to 130 MPH spans. <br /> Example: To calcualate maximum height 'H' at 140 MPH wind velocity for: <br /> 2' x 2' x 0.044' Hollow Extrusion with Load Width = 4' <br /> 1. Find 'H' at 120 MPH: H=6'-11' <br /> 2, Convert 'H' to decimal feet: H = 6'-11' = 6.92' <br /> 3 Select the appropriate multiplier from the conversion table 3A found on the <br /> specification sheet at the beginning of this section, <br /> - if the height is followed by 'b' use Bending multiplier <br /> - if the height is followed by 'd' use Deflection multiplier. <br /> 4 Multiply 'H' in decimal feet by appropriate multiplier. <br /> 'H' at 140 MPH is 6,11' x 0.92 = 5.62' = 5'-7" <br /> Lawrence E.
