The board foot or board-foot is a unit of measurement for the volume of lumber in the United States and Canada [1].It equals the volume of a board that is one foot (30.5 cm) in length, one foot in width, and one inch (2.54 cm) in thickness, or exactly 2.359 737 216 liters.
As modern studies show, the actual length of a kernel of barley varies from as short as 0.16–0.28 in (4–7 mm) to as long as 0.47–0.59 in (12–15 mm) depending on the cultivar. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Older sources claimed the average length of a grain of barley was 0.345 in (8.8 mm), while that of a grain of " big " was 0.3245 in (8.24 mm).
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). 1.0 mm – 1/1,000 of a meter; 1.0 mm – 0.03937 inches or 5/127 (exactly)
A metric ounce is an approximation of the imperial ounce, US dry ounce, or US fluid ounce. These three customary units vary. However, the metric ounce is usually taken as 25 or 30 ml (0.88 or 1.06 imp fl oz; 0.85 or 1.01 US fl oz) when volume is being measured, or in grams when mass is being measured.
Cup size is determined by one of two methods: in the US and UK, increasing cup size every inch method; and in all other systems by increasing cup size for every two centimeters. Since one inch equals 2.54 centimeters, there is considerable discrepancy between the systems, which becomes more exaggerated as cup sizes increase.
linje – Line, 1 ⁄ 12 tomme or approx. 2.18 mm; tomme – Thumb (inch), 1 ⁄ 12 fot, approx. 2.61 cm. This unit was commonly used for measuring timber until the 1970s. Nowadays, the word refers invariably to the Imperial inch, 2.54 cm. kvarter – Quarter, 1 ⁄ 4 alen. fot – Foot, 1 ⁄ 2 alen. From 1824, 31.374 cm.
