    IP65 touchscreen display IP65 LED lamp. The IP code or ingress protection code indicates how well a device is protected against water and dust. It is defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) under the international standard IEC 60529 [1] which classifies and provides a guideline to the degree of protection provided by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures against ...

    The Ringelmann scale is a scale for measuring the apparent density or opacity of smoke. [1] [2] ... 4 and 5 correspond to opacities of 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% ...

  6. Normal height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_height

    Normal heights (symbol or ; SI unit metre, m) is a type of height above sea level introduced by the Soviet scientist Mikhail Molodenskii. The normal height of a point is defined as the quotient of a point's geopotential number C (i.e. its geopotential difference with that of sea level), by the vertically averaged normal gravity :

  7. Scale (ratio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(ratio)

    The scale of a map projection must be interpreted as a nominal scale. (The usage large and small in relation to map scales relates to their expressions as fractions. The fraction 1/10,000 used for a local map is much larger than the 1/100,000,000 used for a global map.

  8. Normalization (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalization_(statistics)

    In the simplest cases, normalization of ratings means adjusting values measured on different scales to a notionally common scale, often prior to averaging. In more complicated cases, normalization may refer to more sophisticated adjustments where the intention is to bring the entire probability distributions of adjusted values into alignment.

  9. Film speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_speed

    The ASA scale is a linear scale, that is, a film denoted as having a film speed of 200 ASA is twice as fast as a film with 100 ASA. The ASA standard underwent a major revision in 1960 with ASA PH2.5-1960, when the method to determine film speed was refined and previously applied safety factors against under-exposure were abandoned, effectively ...
