(OP)
I am coming up with 3.6 psf, not including mortar setting bed. (1/4" thick)
Does that seem correct?

When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Ceramic or quarry tile (3/4") on 1/2" mortar bed (1) 16 pcf
Ceramic or quarry tile (3/4") on 1" mortar bed (1) 23 pcf

You mean psf, right?

I weighed a 12" x 12" x 1/4" standard ceramic tile this morning, it was exactly 3 lbs 9 ounces. So I got 3.6 psf for tile only.
RE: Weight of Ceramic Floor Tile
1/2" of mortar is roughly 7 psf, the tile worked out to be 3 psf. so together they weigh 10 psf.
So the Boise Cascade value of 3 is really close to your weighed value of 3.6 pounds (although concerning that a manufacture's load is less than actual).

Don't forget about any underlayment.

There is no 1/2" setting bed? This is wood floor, the floor plywood is 1-1/8".

RE: Weight of Ceramic Floor Tile
I was just surprised that tile weighs 15% more than reinforced concrete, but after reading how it is made, I suppose the process makes it so dense.

This is a very large ultra high end spec home.
Good thing the floor trusses aren't fabbed yet.
