  2. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

    Sheet metal is metal formed into thin, flat pieces, usually by an industrial process. Thicknesses can vary significantly; extremely thin sheets are considered foil or leaf, and pieces thicker than 6 mm (0.25 in) are considered plate, such as plate steel, a class of structural steel. Sheet metal is available in flat pieces or coiled strips.

  3. Insulated glazing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing

    Typically, most sealed units achieve maximum insulating values using a space of 16–19 mm (0.63–0.75 in) when measured at the centre of the IGU. [ 11 ] IGU thickness is a compromise between maximizing insulating value and the ability of the framing system used to carry the unit.

  4. Electrical steel - Wikipedia

    Since amorphous ribbon can be cast to any specific width under roughly 13 inches and can be sheared with relative ease, it is a suitable material for wound electrical transformer cores. In 2019 the price of amorphous steel outside the US is approximately $.95/pound compared to HiB grain-oriented steel which costs approximately $.86/pound.

  5. Sheet pan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_pan

    A half sheet pan is 18 in × 13 in (460 mm × 330 mm); [1] quarter sheets are 9 in × 13 in (230 mm × 330 mm). [1] The half sheet is approximately the same size as the largest mass-market baking sheets found in supermarkets, and the quarter sheet is a common size for rectangular, single-layer cakes (e.g., the size used for a regular-sized box ...

  6. Surface plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_plate

    A 250 mm x 250 mm surface plate A surface plate is a solid, flat plate used as the main horizontal reference plane for precision inspection, marking out (layout), and tooling setup. [ 1 ] The surface plate is often used as the baseline for all measurements to a workpiece, therefore one primary surface is finished extremely flat with tolerances ...

  7. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    The millimetre (SI symbol: mm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −3 metres (⁠ 1 / 1 000 ⁠ m = 0.001 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude , this section lists lengths between 10 −3 m and 10 −2 m (1 mm and 1 cm).

    The most used of this series is the size A4, which is 210 mm × 297 mm (8.27 in × 11.7 in) and thus almost exactly 1 ⁄ 16 square metre (0.0625 m 2; 96.8752 sq in) in area. For comparison, the letter paper size commonly used in North America ( 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in × 11 in; 216 mm × 279 mm) is about 6 mm ( 0.24 in ) wider and 18 mm ( 0.71 in ...

  9. Sea level rise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise

    Rates vary from less than 1 mm/year during the pre-industrial era to 40+ mm/year when major ice sheets over Canada and Eurasia melted. Meltwater pulses are periods of fast sea level rise caused by the rapid disintegration of these ice sheets. The rate of sea level rise started to slow down about 8,200 years before today.
