  2. List of drill and tap sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_drill_and_tap_sizes

    A good tap drill is 85% (± 2 pp) of major diameter for coarse threads, and 90% (± 2 pp) of major diameter for fine threads. [ 1 ] For metric V threads , the concept of major minus pitch (i.e., the major or widest diameter of the intended screw in millimeters minus the pitch of the threads of that screw in millimeters per thread) yields a good ...

    So a 1 / 2 in (12.7 mm) diameter drill will be able to drill a hole 4 + 1 / 2 in (114.3 mm) deep, since it is 9 times the diameter in length. A 1 / 8 in (3.175 mm) diameter drill can drill a hole 1 + 5 / 8 in (41.275 mm) deep, since it is 13 times the diameter in flute length. [3]

  4. French catheter scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_catheter_scale

    Thus, the outer diameter of a catheter in millimeters can be calculated by dividing the French size by 3. [2] For example, a catheter with a French size of 9 would have an outer diameter of approximately 3 mm. While the French scale aligns closely with the metric system, it introduces redundancy and the potential for rounding errors.

    The basic unit of length in the imperial and U.S. customary systems is the yard, defined as exactly 0.9144 m by international treaty in 1959. [2] [10] Common imperial units and U.S. customary units of length include: [11] thou or mil (1 ⁄ 1000 of an inch) inch (25.4 mm) foot (12 inches, 0.3048 m) yard (3 feet, 0.9144 m)

  8. Shotgun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shotgun

    The minimum barrel length for shotguns in most of the U.S. is 18 inches (460 mm), and this barrel length (sometimes 18.5–20 in (470–510 mm) to increase magazine capacity and/or ensure the gun is legal regardless of measuring differences [3]) is the primary choice for riot shotguns. The shorter barrel makes the weapon easier to maneuver ...

  9. Column inch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Column_inch

    The column inch size for advertisements that spread over more than one column is determined by multiplying the number of inches high by number of columns. For example, an advertisement that is 3 columns wide by 6 inches high takes up 18 column inches (3 columns wide multiplied by 6 inches high).
