  2. Micrometre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrometre

    The micrometre (Commonwealth English as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; [1] SI symbol: μm) or micrometer (American English), also commonly known by the non-SI term micron, [2] is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equalling 1 × 10 −6 metre (SI standard prefix "micro-" = 10 −6); that is, one millionth of a metre (or one thousandth of a ...

  3. Hair's breadth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair's_breadth

    This measurement is not precise because human hair varies in diameter, ranging anywhere from 17 μm to 181 μm [millionths of a metre] [8] One nominal value often chosen is 75 micrometres (0.0030 in), [5] but this – like other measures based upon such highly variable natural objects, including the barleycorn [9] – is subject to a fair degree of imprecision.

    SK Hynix announced that it could produce a 26 nm flash chip with 64 Gb capacity; Intel Corp. and Micron Technology had by then already developed the technology themselves. Announced in 2010. Announced in 2010.

  6. Kinetic diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_diameter

    It is an indication of the size of the molecule as a target. The kinetic diameter is not the same as atomic diameter defined in terms of the size of the atom's electron shell, which is generally a lot smaller, depending on the exact definition used. Rather, it is the size of the sphere of influence that can lead to a scattering event. [1]

  7. Wool measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wool_measurement

    A micron is the measurement used to express the diameter of wool fibre. Fine wool fibers have a low micron value. Fine wool fibers have a low micron value. Fibre diameter is the most important characteristic of wool in determining its value.

  8. Hegman gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegman_gauge

    The grooves decrease in depth from one end of the block to the other, according to a scale stamped next to them. A typical Hegman gauge is 170mm by 65mm by 15mm, with a channel of grooves running lengthwise, 12.5mm across and narrowing uniformly in depth from 100 μm to zero and used to determine particle size. [3]

  9. Microscopic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscopic_scale

    The microscopic scale (from Ancient Greek μικρός (mikrós) ' small ' and σκοπέω (skopéō) ' to look (at); examine, inspect ') is the scale of objects and events smaller than those that can easily be seen by the naked eye, requiring a lens or microscope to see them clearly. [1]
