    All 20 mm cartridges have an outside projectile diameter and barrel bore diameter of approximately 0.787 inches (20.0 mm). These projectiles are typically 75 to 127 mm (3–5 in) long, cartridge cases are typically 75 to 152 mm (3–6 in) long, and most are shells , with an explosive payload and detonating fuze .

    The medal is a bronze star 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (38 mm) in circumscribing diameter. In the center is a 3 ⁄ 16 inch (4.8 mm) diameter superimposed bronze star, the center line of all rays of both stars coinciding.

  5. Nominal Pipe Size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_Pipe_Size

    Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) is a North American set of standard sizes for pipes used for high or low pressures and temperatures. [1] " Nominal" refers to pipe in non-specific terms and identifies the diameter of the hole with a non-dimensional number (for example – 2-inch nominal steel pipe" consists of many varieties of steel pipe with the only criterion being a 2.375-inch (60.3 mm) outside ...

    Manufacturers' Standard Gauge for Sheet Steel is based on an average density of 41.82 lb per square foot per inch thick, [11] equivalent to 501.84 pounds per cubic foot (8,038.7 kg/m 3). Gauge is defined differently for ferrous (iron-based) and non-ferrous metals (e.g. aluminium and brass).

  8. Shore durometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shore_durometer

    The final value of the hardness depends on the depth of the indenter after it has been applied for 15 seconds on the material. If the indenter penetrates 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) or more into the material, the durometer is 0 for that scale. If it does not penetrate at all, then the durometer is 100 for that scale.

    Thus, a 1U rackmount computer is not 1.750 inches (44.5 mm) tall but is 1.719 inches (43.7 mm) tall. If n is number of rack units, the ideal formula for panel height is h = 1.75n − 0.031 for calculating in inches, and h = 44.45n − 0.794 for calculating in millimeters. This gap allows a bit of room above and below an installed piece of ...
