The egg capsule of a big skate is the largest of any skate, measuring 23–31 cm (9–12 in) long and 11–19 cm (4–7 in) wide.
The Shore durometer is a device for measuring the hardness of a material, typically of polymers. [1] Higher numbers on the scale indicate a greater resistance to indentation and thus harder materials. Lower numbers indicate less resistance and softer materials. The term is also used to describe a material's rating on the scale, as in an object ...
Clearnose skates prefer shallow water that is at least partially saline (≥22 ppt). [9] These skates are most commonly found at depths less than 111 m, but can be in waters as deep as 330 m. [4] Skate depth is dependent on season, with R. eglanteria located primarily more inland during the winter and spring and offshore during the summer and ...

Artistic roller skating is a competitive sport similar to figure skating but where competitors wear roller skates instead of ice skates. Within artistic roller skating, there are several disciplines: [1] Figures: the individual follows the figure circle line on a specific edge.

Conversion of units is the conversion of the unit of measurement in which a quantity is expressed, typically through a multiplicative conversion factor that changes the unit without changing the quantity. This is also often loosely taken to include replacement of a quantity with a corresponding quantity that describes the same physical property ...
Both traditional and clap skates use long and straight blades compared to many other ice skating sports. Blades are about 1 mm thick and typically come in lengths from 13 to 18 inches (33 to 46 cm). Most competitive athletes use lengths between 15 and 17 inches (38 and 43 cm), depending on body size and personal preference.
