    However, the 3 + 1 ⁄ 2-inch (89 mm) 12-gauge shell, with its higher SAAMI pressure rating of 14,000 psi (97 MPa) compared to standard 2 + 34-inch (70 mm) and 3-inch (76 mm) 12-gauge shells with their lower pressure rating of 11,500 psi (79 MPa), began to approach the performance of the 3 + 1 ⁄ 2-inch (89 mm) 10-gauge shells with a ...

  3. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    The factor–label method can convert only unit quantities for which the units are in a linear relationship intersecting at 0 (ratio scale in Stevens's typology). Most conversions fit this paradigm. An example for which it cannot be used is the conversion between the Celsius scale and the Kelvin scale (or the Fahrenheit scale). Between degrees ...

  4. Wire gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_gauge

    The current British Standard for metallic materials including wire is BS 6722:1986, which is a solely metric standard, superseding 3737:1964, which used the SWG system. The IEC 60228, used in most parts of the world, defines standard wire sizes based on their cross-sectional areas as expressed in mm 2. [3]

    Schematic of a machine tap. Below is a comprehensive drill and tap size chart for all drills and taps, imperial and metric, up to 36.5 millimetres (1.44 in) in diameter.. In manufactured parts, holes with female screw threads are often needed; they accept male screws to facilitate the building and fastening of a finished assembly.

  6. Help:Convert units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Convert_units

    An input unit can be converted to any number of output units—the outputs are specified as a "combination" by separating unit codes with a space (" ") or a plus (" + "). Using a space as a separator does not work if any of the unit codes contains a space. For example, each of the following converts 1.2 km 2 to acres, square yards, and hectares.

    Size steps between gauges range from 0.001 inches (0.025 mm) between high gauge numbers to 0.046 inches (1.2 mm) between the two lowest gauge numbers and do not correspond to a particular mathematical pattern, although for the most part the steps get smaller with increasing gauge number. [3]

    3 by 4 to 6 + 1 ⁄ 2 by 8 + 34 inches (76 mm × 102 mm to 165 mm × 222 mm) Ranges can be specified in the first parameter although writing {{convert|3.2|-|7.5|ha}} would be clearer. Convert

  9. Thousandth of an inch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousandth_of_an_inch

    25.4 μm. A thousandth of an inch is a derived unit of length in a system of units using inches. Equal to 1000 of an inch, a thousandth is commonly called a thou / ˈθaʊ / (used for both singular and plural) or, particularly in North America, a mil (plural mils). The words are shortened forms of the English and Latin words for "thousand ...
