  2. French catheter scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_catheter_scale

    Thus, the outer diameter of a catheter in millimeters can be calculated by dividing the French size by 3. [2] For example, a catheter with a French size of 9 would have an outer diameter of approximately 3 mm. While the French scale aligns closely with the metric system, it introduces redundancy and the potential for rounding errors.

    1.0 mm – 0.03937 inches or 5/127 (exactly) 1.0 mm – side of a square of area 1 mm²; 1.0 mm – diameter of a pinhead; 1.5 mm – average length of a flea [27] 2.54 mm – distance between pins on old dual in-line package (DIP) electronic components; 5 mmlength of an average red ant; 5 mm – diameter of an average grain of rice

  4. Millimetre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millimetre

    Different lengths as in respect to the electromagnetic spectrum, measured by the metre and its derived scales.The microwave is between 1 meter to 1 millimeter.. The millimetre (international spelling; SI unit symbol mm) or millimeter (American spelling) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one thousandth of a metre, which is the SI base unit of length.

    The 37.5 mm length is not derived by a certain scale ratio. While HO scale is a 1:87 scale (3.5 mm to 1 foot), resulting in a 16.5 mm ( 0.65 in ) gauge from real life prototype 1,435 mm ( 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in ) standard gauge standard gauge.

    These names were used relative to the others and their exact length would vary over time, from country to country, and from foundry to foundry. For example, "agate" and "ruby" used to be a single size "agate ruby" of about 5 points ; [ 2 ] metal type known as " agate " later ranged from 5 to 5.8 points.

  7. Mesh (scale) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_(scale)

    Mesh is a measurement of particle size often used in determining the particle-size distribution of a granular material. For example, a sample from a truckload of peanuts may be placed atop a mesh with 5 mm openings. When the mesh is shaken, small broken pieces and dust pass through the mesh while whole peanuts are retained on the mesh.

  8. Caliber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caliber

    While modern firearms are generally referred to by the name of the cartridge the gun is chambered for, they are still categorized together based on bore diameter. [citation needed] For example, a firearm might be described as a "30 caliber rifle", which could accommodate any of a wide range of cartridges using a roughly 0.30 inches (7.6 mm) projectile; or as a "22 rimfire", referring to any ...

  9. 5.5 mm scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5.5_mm_scale

    12 mm (0.472 in) gauge track is used to represent 2 ft (610 mm) to 2 ft 3 in (686 mm) gauge prototypes. 16.5 mm (0.65 in) gauge track is used to represent 3 ft (914 mm) gauge prototypes. Very narrow industrial or rural lines can be represented by N-gauge (9 mm gauge) on OO9-track do give 18 in (457 mm). These 5.5mm could be called "5.5-ind".
