CSX lists three clearance heights above top of rail for double stack service: [8] Doublestack 1 — 18 ft 2 in (5.54 m) [8] Doublestack 2 — 19 ft 2 in (5.84 m) [8] Doublestack 3 — 20 ft 2 in (6.15 m) [8] Doublestack 4 — 20 ft 3 in (6.17 m) [9] The last 2 clearances offer the most flexibility, allowing two high cube containers to be stacked.
The most common and noted type of containers are the 20 feet and 40 feet containers. There are also containers with an extent in height called "High Cube" containers. [3] [9] The fixed exterior dimension of the standard size boxes are: [9] [10] 20 feet container size is: 20 ft (6.1 m) length by 8 ft (2.4 m) width by 8.6 ft (2.6 m) height.
[2] [6] The worldwide standard heights are 8 feet 6 inches (2.59 m) and 9 feet 6 inches (2.90 m) – the latter are known as High Cube or Hi-Cube (HC or HQ) containers. [7] Depending on the source, these containers may be termed TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), reflecting the 20- or 40-foot dimensions.
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.
ISO 668 – Series 1 freight containers – Classification, dimensions and ratings is an ISO international standard which nominally classifies intermodal freight shipping containers, and standardizes their sizes, measurements and weight specifications.
The measure of 42 US or wine gallons corresponds to a wine tierce (third-pipe). A wine barrel, or 1 ⁄ 8 tun, measures 31.5 US gallons (26.2 imp gal; 119.2 L). Applicable standards include: ISO 15750-1:2002. Packaging — Steel drums — Part 1: Removable head (open head) drums with a minimum total capacity of 208 L, 210 L, and 216.5 L
In geometry, a hypercube is an n-dimensional analogue of a square (n = 2) and a cube (n = 3); the special case for n = 4 is known as a tesseract.It is a closed, compact, convex figure whose 1-skeleton consists of groups of opposite parallel line segments aligned in each of the space's dimensions, perpendicular to each other and of the same length.
In geometry, a Schlegel diagram is a projection of a polytope from into through a point just outside one of its facets. The resulting entity is a polytopal subdivision of the facet in R d − 1 {\textstyle \mathbb {R} ^{d-1}} that, together with the original facet, is combinatorially equivalent to the original polytope.
