38 cm shell from Tirpitz found in the Ullsfjorden in Norway. Four types of shells were used by the 38 cm SK C/34, although the Siegfried-Granate could only be used by the coastal defense versions. Almost 40 percent lighter, this shell could be fired with a reduced charge at 920 metres per second (3,000 ft/s) out to 40 kilometres (44,000 yd).
The previous 28 cm gun was the SK C/28 used on the Deutschland class. The Scharnhorst class received an improved version of the SK C/28 which had a longer barrel—the SK C/34. The 283 mm SK C/34 gun was relatively fast loading, compared with other armament of this size. It could deliver a shot every 17 seconds.
The 38 cm SK L/45 "Max", also called Langer Max (literal translation "Long Max") was a German long-range, heavy siege and coast-defense gun used during World War I. [A 1] Originally a naval gun, it was also adapted for land service when it became clear that some of the ships for which it was intended would be delayed and that it would be very useful on the Western Front.
28 cm SK C/28 naval gun were used on the famous Panzerschiffes - Lützow (ex-Deutschland), Admiral Scheer and Admiral Graf Spee. For needed elevation turrets were fitted with RPC. Shells used in the guns were of inferior ballistic characteristics when compared to successor 28 cm SK C/34.
Countries using the metric system tend to use lines per centimeter (L/cm). In order to convert between L/in and L/cm the following formulas can be used: Lines per inch to lines per cm: L/cm = 0.394 x L/in i.e. 254 L/in = 100 L/cm Lines per cm to lines per inch: L/in = 2.54 x L/cm i.e. 100 L/cm = 254 L/in
The 28 cm SK L/40 was the last large German naval gun to load all its propellant in a single case; later guns required a fore charge in addition to the main charge in the cartridge case. [ 1 ] The Drh.L. C/01 turret was used by the Braunschweig - and Deutschland -class battleships, one twin gun turret at each end.
For example, a 15-inch (38 cm) display whose dimensions work out to 12 inches (30.48 cm) wide by 9 inches (22.86 cm) high, capable of a maximum 1024×768 (or XGA) pixel resolution, can display around 85 PPI, or 33.46 PPCM, in both the horizontal and vertical directions. This figure is determined by dividing the width (or height) of the display ...
The following table is adapted from the scale of the American Library Association, [1] [9] which uses a basis sheet of 19-by-25-inch (483 by 635 mm) [10] which is, confusingly if not explained by the source, half the text/book stock sheet of 25-by-38-inch (635 by 965 mm), and in which size refers to the dimensions of the cover (trimmed pages ...
