2. Biltmore stick - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biltmore_stick

   The Biltmore stick is a tool used by foresters to estimate tree trunk diameter at breast height. The tool very often includes a hypsometer scale to estimate height as well. It looks much like an everyday yardstick. With practice a Biltmore stick is considered to be exceptionally accurate, often within half an inch on diameters.

3. Units of textile measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_textile_measurement

   Textile fibers, threads, yarns and fabrics are measured in a multiplicity of units.. A fiber, a single filament of natural material, such as cotton, linen or wool, or artificial material such as nylon, polyester, metal or mineral fiber, or human-made cellulosic fibre like viscose, Modal, Lyocell or other rayon fiber is measured in terms of linear mass density, the weight of a given length of ...

5. Pick glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick_glass

   A pick glass also known as a piece glass is a magnifying glass helpful in counting thread count. It is used to determine the number of yarns in warp and weft in woven fabrics and courses and wales in knitted fabrics. [1] [2] Compact constructions of fabrics may have a higher thread count. That is also called "cloth count". [3]

6. Unified Thread Standard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Thread_Standard

   The standard designation for a UTS thread is a number indicating the nominal (major) diameter of the thread, followed by the pitch measured in threads per inch.For diameters smaller than ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ inch, the diameter is indicated by an integer number defined in the standard; for all other diameters, the inch figure is given.

7. Thread pitch gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_pitch_gauge

   Three different sets of threading gauges. The uppermost gauge is an ISO metric pitch gauge, the larger gauge in the center is for measuring the Acme thread form, and the lower gauge is for Whitworth screws. A thread gauge, [1] also known as a screw gauge [2] or pitch gauge, [3] is used to measure the pitch or lead of a screw thread.
