    Not shown is the rare, but also possible combination of a 30-foot container coupled to a 10-foot box, in a 40(+) foot long stack. The ISO 668 standard firstly classifies containers by their length in whole feet for their 'common names', despite all measurement units used being either metric (SI) or officially based on the metric system .

  3. Intermodal container - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermodal_container

    By the ISO standard, 10-foot (and previously included 5-ft and 6 1 ⁄ 2-ft boxes) are only of unnamed, 8-foot (2.44 m) height. But industry makes 10-foot units more frequently of 8 ft 6 in (2.59 m) height, [ 90 ] to mix, match (and stack) better in a fleet of longer, 8 ft 6 in tall containers.

    Planners can also load a 40 feet container on top of two units of 20 feet container, this known as a "Russian stowage" or "mixed stowage". [21] Hatch cover clearance – Hatch cover clearance refers to how many "High Cube" (height over 8.6 ft (2.6 m)) containers allowed to load in the hold without preventing the hatch cover from closing correctly.

  5. Twenty-foot equivalent unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-foot_equivalent_unit

    The twenty-foot equivalent unit (abbreviated TEU or teu) is a general unit of cargo capacity, often used for container ships and container ports. [1] It is based on the volume of a 20-foot-long (6.1 m) intermodal container, a standard-sized metal box that can be easily transferred between different modes of transportation, such as ships, trains, and trucks.

  6. Preferred metric sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferred_metric_sizes

    ISO 216 standard specifies the A sizes of paper, including the very common A4, wherein the base size of A0 is one square meter, and the ratio between the height and width is √ 2, which results in all sizes of paper having the same aspect ratio.

  7. SECU (container) - Wikipedia

    By contrast a 40-foot container is 12.2×2.7×2.4 m (40.0×8.9×7.9 ft) and can carry 26.5 metric tons (26.1 long tons; 29.2 short tons) of cargo. The benefit is that their larger capacity reduces the number of containers needed, and therefore their handling cost.

  8. Containerization - Wikipedia

    It was increased to 30,480 kg for the 20' in 2005, then further increased to a max of 36,000 kg for all sizes by the amendment 2 (2016) of the ISO standard 668 (2013). The original choice of 8-foot (2.44 m) height for ISO containers was made in part to suit a large proportion of railway tunnels, though some had to be modified.

  9. Geometrical Product Specification and Verification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical_Product...

    Geometrical Product Specification and Verification (GPS&V) [1] is a set of ISO standards developed by ISO Technical Committee 213. [2] The aim of those standards is to develop a common language to specify macro geometry (size, form, orientation, location) and micro-geometry (surface texture) of products or parts of products so that the language can be used consistently worldwide.
