  2. 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.

  3. List of scale model sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scale_model_sizes

    2mm scale / British N scale railway modeling. 1:150: 2.032 mm: Model railways (Japanese N) Used by Heller for model ships, and proposed by the Japanese to supersede 1:144 scale trains. Models which are commonly made in scale at 1:150 are commercial airliners - such as the Airbus A320, Boeing 777 all the way to the jumbo jets - the Airbus A380 ...

  4. 2 mm scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_mm_scale

    2 mm scale. 2 mm scale, often 2 mm finescale is a specification used for railway modelling, [ 1] largely for modelling British railway prototypes. [citation needed] It uses a scale of 2 mm on the model to 1 foot on the prototype, which scales out to 1:152. [ 1] The track gauge used to represent prototype standard gauge (4 feet inches) is 9.42 ...

  5. Miniature model (gaming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_model_(gaming)

    Figures of 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 28 mm, 30 mm, 32 mm, and 35 mm are the most common for role-playing and table-top games. Smaller figures of 2 mm, 6 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, and 20 mm are used for mass-combat wargames. Large sizes such as 40 mm and 54 mm were popular with wargamers in the past and are still used by painters and collectors.

  6. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    The centimetre (SI symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10−2 metres (⁠ 1 100 ⁠ m = 0.01 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −2 m and 10 −1 m (1 cm and 1 dm). 1 cm – 10 millimetres. 1 cm – 0.39 inches. 1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2.

  8. N scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N_scale

    A number of modellers in the United Kingdom use 2 mm scale, a closer-to-scale standard than N scale. 2 mm scale is scaled at 2 mm to the foot (1:152) with a 9.42 mm (0.371 in) track gauge. Nearer to scale appearance is achieved by finer rail, flange, and crossing dimensions than commercial N gauge (9 mm / 0.354 in) components. A variation of ...

  9. 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.
