  2. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    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 ...

  3. Minute and second of arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_and_second_of_arc

    A minute of arc, arcminute (arcmin), arc minute, or minute arc, denoted by the symbol ′, is a unit of angular measurement equal to ⁠ 1 / 60 ⁠ of one degree. [1] Since one degree is ⁠ 1 / 360 ⁠ of a turn, or complete rotation, one arcminute is ⁠ 1 / 21 600 ⁠ of a turn.

  4. Pressure altitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_altitude

    In aviation, pressure altitude is the height above a standard datum plane (SDP), which is a theoretical level where the weight of the atmosphere is 29.921 inches of mercury (1,013.2 mbar; 14.696 psi) as measured by a barometer. [2]

  5. Circular mil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_mil

    7.854 × 10 −7 square inches (1 square inch is about 1.273 million circular mils) 5.067 × 10 −10 square metres; 5.067 × 10 −4 square millimetres; 506.7 μm 2; 1000 circular mils = 1 MCM or 1 kcmil, and is (approximately) equal to: 0.5067 mm 2, so 2 kcmil ≈ 1 mm 2 (a 1.3% error)

  6. Speeds and feeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

    The "feeds" may be for the X-axis or the Z-axis (typically mm/rev or inch/rev for lathe work; sometimes measured as mm/min or inch/min). Notice that as the tool plunges closer to the workpiece's center, the same spindle speed will yield a decreasing surface (cutting) speed (because each rev represents a smaller circumferential distance, but ...

  7. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    This is commonly used in Europe to denote the incline of a railway. It is sometimes written as mm/m or m/km instead of the ‰ symbol. [1] [2] as a ratio of one part rise to so many parts run. For example, a slope that has a rise of 5 feet for every 1000 feet of run would have a slope ratio of 1 in 200.

  8. Barometric formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometric_formula

    Pressure as a function of the height above the sea level. There are two equations for computing pressure as a function of height. The first equation is applicable to the atmospheric layers in which the temperature is assumed to vary with altitude at a non null lapse rate of : = [,, ()] ′, The second equation is applicable to the atmospheric layers in which the temperature is assumed not to ...

  9. Prime (symbol) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_(symbol)

    The prime symbol ′ is commonly used to represent feet (ft), and the double prime ″ is used to represent inches (in). [2] The triple prime ‴, as used in watchmaking, represents a ligne (1 ⁄ 12 of a "French" inch, or pouce, about 2.26 millimetres or 0.089 inches).
