  2. Tree girth measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_girth_measurement

    Some trees have branches at or lower than a height of 4.5 feet (1.37 m). Since the purpose of a girth measurement is to get a full measure of the tree's trunk, measurements should be taken at the narrowest point below any significant branching. When taking a girth measurement at a non-standard height the height of that measurement above the ...

  3. Diameter at breast height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diameter_at_breast_height

    Electronic calipers can measure diameter at breast height and send measured data via Bluetooth to a field computer. Tree trunks are measured at the height of an adult's breast, which is defined differently in different countries and situations. In many countries, DBH is measured at approximately 1.3 m (4.3 ft) above ground. [1] [2]

    One momme = 4.340 g/m 2; 8 mommes is approximately 1 ounce per square yard or 35 g/m 2. The momme is based on the standard width of silk of 45 inches (1.1 m) wide (though silk is regularly produced in 55-inch (1.4 m) widths and uncommonly in larger widths). The usual range of momme weight for different weaves of silk are: Habutai—5 to 16 mm

    [2] [4] Elsewhere in the world it is measured at a height of 1.3 meters, [19] 1.4 meters, [5] [20] or 1.5 meters. [21] Tree girth measurement is commonly performed by wrapping a tape around the trunk at the correct height.

    [25] [26] The standard FIFA football pitch for international matches is 105 m (344 ft) long by 68 m (223 ft) wide (7,140 m 2 or 0.714 ha or 1.76 acres); FIFA allows for a variance of up to 5 m (16.4 ft) in length in either direction and 7 m (23.0 ft) more or 4 m (13.1 ft) less in width (and larger departures if the pitch is not used for ...

    One barn is equal to 1.0 × 10 −28 m 2. The name derives from the folk expressions "As big as a barn," and "Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn", used by particle accelerator physicists to refer to the probability of achieving a collision between particles. For nuclear purposes, 1.0 × 10 −28 m 2 is actually rather large. [25]

    For small objects, different methods are used that also depend upon determining size in units of wavelengths. For instance, in the case of a crystal, atomic spacings can be determined using X-ray diffraction. [13] The present best value for the lattice parameter of silicon, denoted a, is: [14] a = 543.102 0504(89) × 10 −12 m,
