Some recipes may specify butter amounts called a pat (1 - 1.5 tsp) [26] or a knob (2 tbsp). [27] Cookbooks in Canada use the same system, although pints and gallons would be taken as their Imperial quantities unless specified otherwise. Following the adoption of the metric system, recipes in Canada are frequently published with metric conversions.
In the metric system, there are only a small number of basic measures of relevance to cooking: the gram (g) for weight, the liter (L) for volume, the meter (m) for length, and degrees Celsius (°C) for temperature; multiples and sub-multiples are indicated by prefixes, two commonly used metric cooking prefixes are milli-(m-) and kilo-(k-).

1 km 2 means one square kilometre, or the area of a square of 1000 m by 1000 m. In other words, an area of 1 000 000 square metres and not 1000 square metres. 2 Mm 3 means two cubic megametres, or the volume of two cubes of 1 000 000 m by 1 000 000 m by 1 000 000 m, i.e. 2 × 10 18 m 3, and not 2 000 000 cubic metres (2 × 10 6 m 3).
Rondelle; cylindrical vegetables cut to discs of desired thickness 1 ⁄ 8 – 1 ⁄ 2 inch (3–10 mm) Oblique; triangle-shaped cuts made by rolling cylindrical items 180° in between bias cuts; Tourné; 2 inches (50 mm) long with seven faces usually with a bulge in the center portion; Mirepoix; 3 ⁄ 16 – 1 ⁄ 4 inch (5–7 mm)
In the cases where non-SI units are used, the numerical calculation of a formula can be done by first working out the factor, and then plug in the numerical values of the given/known quantities. For example, in the study of Bose–Einstein condensate , [ 6 ] atomic mass m is usually given in daltons , instead of kilograms , and chemical ...
The millimetre (SI symbol: mm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −3 metres ( 1 / 1 000 m = 0.001 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude , this section lists lengths between 10 −3 m and 10 −2 m (1 mm and 1 cm).
SD g/mm 2 is the sectional density in grams per square millimeters; m g is the mass of the projectile in grams; d mm is the diameter of the projectile in millimeters; For example, a small arms bullet with a mass of 10.4 grams (160 gr) and having a diameter of 6.70 mm (0.264 in) has a sectional density of: 4 · 10.4 / (π·6.7 2) = 0.295 g/mm 2
