Ilford 11x14 film specs
Hello,
I need to know the dimensions of Ilford 11x14 sheet film. I've tried to download the info from the Ilford website, but my software can't read the pdf file. Could someone forward the info to me? Thanks Curt Blood |

Do you - for example - mean this one he http://www.ilford.com/html/us_english/pdf/FP4Plus.pdf It doesn't tell anything about sheet film sizes. It only says that the film "is available in a wide range of standard sizes". Well, that's not exactly the information you are looking for... I also checked the German version of this document, but unfortunately, there is no difference. I think you should contact Ilford directly and ask them. That will be the most reliable way to get these data. Regards, Thom@s -- "Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst." (Henri Cartier-Bresson) Kein "reply-to" mehr vorhanden, danke Swen! |

It only says that the film "is available in a wide range of standard sizes". Availability of 11x14 in a specific emulsion is best gotten from the vendor: B&H sells HP5+ in 25 sheet 11x14 packs, for instance. A large enough vendor can have the film made for resale in any desired size. A minimum quantity would apply and the price would be higher. But it is possible that only B&H carries FP4 in 3 1/4 x 4 1/4, and that's because it is the size they ordered it in. I need to know the dimensions of Ilford 11x14 sheet film. I've tried to download the info from the Ilford website, but my software can't read the pdf file. Could someone forward the info to me? This sort of splintered information drives folks (including me, who [theoretically] know why and how this is done) nuts. You have to think like an Engineer: the above specification sheet is not for the film as a roll/sheet but for the emulsion coated plastic that is used to make a roll or sheet of film. You will usually find there is document for each separable step in the manufacturing process. The emulsion feedstock is what is described in the spec above. It says nothing about the size the feedstock is cut into, where the gelatin comes from ... Only those things that are uniquely 'FP4ish' are specified. Now a box of sheet film made from this emulsion would have a separate document specifying format/sheets per box/packaging for the pack and ship operation. This would tell you that they do make the stuff in 11x14. A separate document would specify the actual dimensions and tolerances for 11x14 format film. This is done because raw 11x14 flows from a silting/cutting/notching operation into a packaging operation that places the film into consumer cartons, bulk cartons for Adorama, 25 sheet/50 sheet, 100.... A change in the color of the carton, or the discontinuance of 50 sheet packs has nothing to do with the properties of the emulsion or the size of 11x14. The actual physical size of llx14 film would be found in an ISO, ASA, NBS, SPIE ... specification, as all film manufacturers make 11x14 film in the same actual size (which is most likely _not_ exactly 11x14 inches).

On 3/3/2004 9:06 AM Nicholas O. Lindan spake thus:

Think 'need to know'. I guess serving the end-user's "need to know" by having everything in one place--a "one-stop" document--would be too easy and wouldn't make sense from an engineer's point of view, huh? -- The Bush administration should restrain itself from its imperial arrogance that has so alienated countries around the world. Their contempt for the United Nations in the dash to war with Iraq; their support of the coup in Venezuela in April 2002, and the continuing hostility toward President Chavez; the pressure on nations of the world to exempt the US from the International Criminal Court, now joined by their contemptuous attitude toward President Aristide must be halted. It is time for the people of the USA to make this point clear even if the administration continues to walk around with wax in its collective ears, with eyes closed, and ranting about its version of the world as defined by Bush. - Excerpt from TransAfrica statement on the situation in Haiti, 2/17/04 (http://www.transafricaforum.org/) |

An ANSI standard for film dimensions: IT1.52-1994
http://webstore.ansi.org/ansidocstor...asp?dept_id=94 About 1/3rd the way down. This may not be the correct specification, but it is a place to start. -- Nicholas O. Lindan, Cleveland, Ohio Consulting Engineer: Electronics; Informatics; Photonics. |
