Is there a standard for number of LP's per inch?

I want to get an idea of how many LPs I own. Is there an agreed-upon standard for how many discs are in a running inch, or foot? There is a lot of variation so it would be helpful to know if this is a known quantity.

Then use the average per inch X # inches total and there is your estimate. I'd separate out box sets if you can and count or estimate those separately.
