Fly Line Weight Determination, Revisited

When last we left newbie Mark, he thought he had confused a 5 and 6 weight. After good internet counsel he did the following. Took both lines to garage and measured 10? from tip. Used micrometer to measure line diameter. Below are the findings:

Green Line, orange backing: 0.0485? dia
Green Line, yellow backing: 0.052? dia

Orange backed line had been labeled 6 wt and yellow backed as 5 wt. Switched labels so organge now reads 5 and yellow 6. Hope that is correct.

Thanks for tip on how to do this!!!!!!!!!!!
