    This dual gauge replaces the narrow gauge that was chosen to enable cheap 100m radius curves and 2% gradients. 900 mm (2 ft 11 + 7 ⁄ 16 in) 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) 2008–2009 Austria: Pöstlingbergbahn: 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) 760 mm (2 ft 5 + 15 ⁄ 16 in) 1961 Austria Tschagguns–Partenen railway: 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in)

  3. Drill bit sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit_sizes

    For Morse taper-shank drill bits, the standard continues in 1/64 inch increments up to 1¾ inch, then 1/32 inch increments up to 2¼ inch, 1/16 inch increments up to 3 inches, 1/8 inch increments up to 3¼ inches, and a single 1/4 inch increment to 3½ inches. One aspect of this method of sizing is that the size increment between drill bits ...

    A fire hydrant marked as 3-inch. The inch (symbol: in or ″) is a unit of length in the British Imperial and the United States customary systems of measurement.It is equal to ⁠ 1 / 36 ⁠ yard or ⁠ 1 / 12 ⁠ of a foot.

    The gauge is placed against the edge to be checked and any light leakage between the blade and edge indicates a mismatch that requires correction. Ring gauge: a cylindrical ring of steel whose inside diameter is finished to gauge tolerance and is used for checking the external diameter of a cylindrical object. Strain gauge

  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 millimeters; 1 cm – 0.39 inches; 1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2

  7. Gauge (knitting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_(knitting)

    The machine's gauge is expressed by the number of needles needed to achieve that gauge. B – Used for hand, mechanical, or modern Electronic Flat Machines (Stoll, Shima, Protti, etc.), where gauge is measured in 1-inch (2.5 cm) increments. The machine's gauge is again measured by the number of needles required to achieve that number.

  8. Length measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_measurement

    Length measurement, distance measurement, or range measurement (ranging) all refer to the many ways in which length, distance, or range can be measured. The most commonly used approaches are the rulers, followed by transit-time methods and the interferometer methods based upon the speed of light .

    The mil or thou is also sometimes used to mean thousandth of an inch. Sheet metal in the U.S. is commonly measured in gauge (not to be confused with the American wire gauge), which is derived from weight and thus differs by material. Nominal Pipe Size is used for the outside diameter of pipes. Below NPS14, the NPS number is not consistent with ...
