Typically, that rough cut is smaller than the nominal dimensions because modern technology makes it possible to use the logs more efficiently. For example, a "2×4" board historically started out as a green, rough board actually 2 by 4 inches (51 mm × 102 mm). After drying and planing, it would be smaller by a nonstandard amount.
When considering the engineering tolerance between a shaft (or bolt) going through a hole in some other part (such as a nut), both the shaft (or bolt) have the same nominal size (also called the basic size), [2] [3] [4] but all the holes are physically larger and all the shafts are physically smaller in order that any shaft (or bolt) of a given ...
On rough soil surfaces, the action of rainsplash detachment tends to smoothen the edges of soil surface roughness, leading to an overall decrease in RR. However, a recent study which examined the response of smooth soil surfaces on rainfall showed that RR can considerably increase for low initial microroughness length scales in the order of 0 ...
A type of flat, tapered, single-cut file used to cut, flatten, and smooth (or "float") wood surfaces by abrasion, e.g. when making a wooden plane. Unlike rasps and files, floats have parallel teeth and can be resharpened as many times as the thickness of the blade will allow. flute 1. A deep channel cut in wood. 2. The cannel of a gouge. foxing
Outer dimensions (such as the diameter of a railroad car's axle) may be cut intentionally oversize, or inner dimensions (such as the diameter of the railroad car's wheel hub) may be cut intentionally undersize, to allow for an interference fit (press fit). A part may be cast intentionally too big when it is desired to later machine the surface.
I think in nominal non inflation adjusted terms, they probably will go up a little bit. Buying sooner, you first start to pay down your mortgage, which allows you to pail principle and equity.
The nominal interest rate is a simple way of expressing the cost of a loan or the return on a deposit. The real interest rate accounts for the effect of inflation on the purchasing power of ...
In the United States and Canada sawn wood products of five inches (127 millimeters) (nominal size) diameter or greater are sometimes called "timbers". Lumber is supplied either rough or finished. Rough lumber is the raw material for furniture making and other items requiring additional cutting and shaping.
