  2. Beam (nautical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_(nautical)

    Graphical representation of the dimensions used to describe a ship. Dimension "b" is the beam at waterline.. The beam of a ship is its width at its widest point. The maximum beam (B MAX) is the distance between planes passing through the outer sides of the ship, beam of the hull (B H) only includes permanently fixed parts of the hull, and beam at waterline (B WL) is the maximum width where the ...

    Grain Cube (or Grain Capacity) – The maximum space available for cargo measured in cubic metres or feet, the measurement being taken to the inside of the shell plating of the ship or to the outside of the frames and to the top of the beam or underside of the deck plating. It is a measurement of capacity for cargoes such as grain, where the ...

  4. I-beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-beam

    where I is the moment of inertia of the beam cross-section and c is the distance of the top of the beam from the neutral axis (see beam theory for more details). For a beam of cross-sectional area a and height h , the ideal cross-section would have half the area at a distance ⁠ h / 2 ⁠ above the cross-section and the other half at a ...

  5. Beamer (occupation) - Wikipedia

    Several tapers beams would be attached to creels on the Tape Sizing machine, and the threads from these would be sized and combined to create the smaller weavers beams. [3] As a rule of thumb, a tapers beam had thread long enough to make 20 weavers beams. Colloquially, the term beamer was used for anyone responsible for moving beams of yarn.

  6. Beam diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_diameter

    6) defines the beam diameter as the distance between diametrically opposed points in that cross-section of a beam where the power per unit area is 1/e (0.368) times that of the peak power per unit area. This is the beam diameter definition that is used for computing the maximum permissible exposure to a laser beam.

    [5] [3] As a rule of thumb, the depth should be 1 ⁄ 24 of the span. [5] The width of the ribs is typically 130 mm (5 in) to 150 mm (6 in), and ribs usually have steel rod reinforcements. [5] The distance between ribs is typically 915 mm (3 ft). [3] The height of the ribs and beams should be 1 ⁄ 25 of the span between columns. [3]

    The D4σ beam width is the ISO standard definition and the measurement of the M 2 beam quality parameter requires the measurement of the D4σ widths. [2] [3] [4] The other definitions provide complementary information to the D4σ and are used in different circumstances.
