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

Better to measure the width of one hundred records and then use that.

Inches? I measure by the yard. :-)

How many albums do you own?! Why not just count them all? Or count the LP's in one cubicle (if your racks are comprised of multiple cubicles), then multiply that number by the number of cubicles.

No standard depends on the thickness of the pressings etc.No such thing as LPs by the inch or foot.Good luck though!!

Guys thanks for all your responses. I was really trying to see if one of the collector organizations had previously set a standard. I'll take all your tips into account. Best to all.

also consider if a double album is one or two records as that will effect your outcome. also jacket thickness to some degree.

Take a few samples from your collection to see how many per inch.   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.

OK! Maybe I'll see if I can come up with a useful standard here. Thanks for your help!

No, there is not standard "records per inch" calculation due to too many variables.  Just take some average records and measure how many make up an inch.

Count ten then just measure that.
