  2. Ring size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_size

    Originally in 1945, the divisions were based on the ring inside diameter in steps of 1 ⁄ 64 inch (0.40 mm). [6] However, in 1987 BSI updated the standard to the metric system so that one alphabetical size division equals 1.25 mm of circumferential length. For a baseline, ring size C has a circumference of 40 mm. [7]

  3. Width across flats - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Width_across_flats

    A few sizes are close enough to interchange for most purposes, such as 19 mm (close to 3 ⁄ 4 inch (19.05 mm)), 8 mm (close to 5 ⁄ 16 inch (7.94 mm)) and 4 mm (close to 5 ⁄ 32 inch (3.97 mm)). In reality, a wrench with a width across the flats of exactly 15 mm would fit too tightly to use on a bolt with a width across the flats of 15 mm.

  4. Millimetre - Wikipedia

    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.

  5. Grain size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_size

    Grain size (or particle size) is the diameter of individual grains of sediment, or the lithified particles in clastic rocks. The term may also be applied to other granular materials . This is different from the crystallite size, which refers to the size of a single crystal inside a particle or grain.

  6. Circular mil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_mil

    A circular mil is a unit of area, equal to the area of a circle with a diameter of one mil (one thousandth of an inch or 0.0254 mm). It is equal to π /4 square mils or approximately 5.067 × 10 −4 mm 2. It is a unit intended for referring to the area of a wire with a circular cross section.

  7. British Association screw threads - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Association_screw...

    The pitch of 0BA is 1 mm and the pitch of each higher numbered thread is obtained by multiplying the pitch of the lower number by 0.9 so K-BA has a pitch of p = 0.9 K [4]: 12 rounded to two significant figures in mm. The major diameter is given by 6p 1.2, [4]: 12 rounded to two significant figures in mm and the hex head size (across the flats ...

  9. International System of Units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units

    The conversion between different SI units for one and the same physical quantity is always through a power of ten. This is why the SI (and metric systems more generally) are called decimal systems of measurement units. [10] The grouping formed by a prefix symbol attached to a unit symbol (e.g. ' km ', ' cm ') constitutes a new inseparable unit ...
