Cladding enables structures to be made with much less weight than solid copper. Four-millimeter-thick (5 ⁄ 32 in) composites weigh 10 kgf/m 2 (2.08 pounds per square foot), only 35% as much as solid copper of the same thickness. [102] Copper cladding is used in building exteriors and indoor environments.
The weight of a rail per length is an important factor in determining rail strength and hence axleloads and speeds. Weights are measured in pounds per yard (imperial units in Canada, the United Kingdom and United States) and kilograms per metre in mainland Europe and Australia). 1 kg/m = 2.0159 lb/yd.

The adult body contains between 1.4 and 2.1 mg of copper per kilogram of body weight. [12 ... of the Pacific Ocean approximately 3000–6500 meters below sea ...
For example, Paraffin has very large molecules and thus a high heat capacity per mole, but as a substance it does not have remarkable heat capacity in terms of volume, mass, or atom-mol (which is just 1.41 R per mole of atoms, or less than half of most solids, in terms of heat capacity per atom).
Fabric "weight" is often specified as mass per unit area, grams per square meter (gsm) or ounces per square yard. It is also sometimes specified in ounces per yard in a standard width for the particular cloth. One gram per square meter equals 0.0295 ounces per square yard; one ounce per square yard equals 33.9 grams per square meter.

In North America and the United Kingdom, rail is graded in pounds per yard (usually shown as pound or lb), so 130-pound rail would weigh 130 lb/yd (64 kg/m). The usual range is 115 to 141 lb/yd (57 to 70 kg/m). In Europe, rail is graded in kilograms per metre and the usual range is 40 to 60 kg/m (81 to 121 lb/yd).
