The systematic review by Veale et al. (2015), of 20 studies of 15,521 men, where subjects were measured by staff, rather than self measured, found the average flaccid, stretched, and erect lengths of 9.16 cm (3.61 in), 13.24 cm (5.21 in), and 13.12 cm (5.17 in), respectively, and average flaccid and erect circumferences of 9.31 cm (3.67 in) and ...
Until then, workers such as millwrights, boilermakers, and machinists in the Anglosphere measured only in traditional fractions of an inch, divided via successive halving, usually only as far as 64ths (1, 1 ⁄ 2, 1 ⁄ 4, 1 ⁄ 8, 1 ⁄ 16, 1 ⁄ 32, 1 ⁄ 64). Each 64th is about 16 thou.
A gauge number denotes a thickness on a standardized scale which, for most purposes, starts at 20g (0.812 mm thick— often used for the posts for nose studs), and increases in thickness (as the gauge number decreases) to 0g, then 00g, and rarely goes any further as these thicknesses come closer and closer to 1 ⁄ 2 ″.
Habutai—5 to 16 mm; Chiffon—6 to 8 mm (can be made in double thickness, i.e. 12 to 16 mm) Crepe de Chine—12 to 16 mm; Gauze—3 to 5 mm; Raw silk—35 to 40 mm (heavier silks appear more "wooly") Organza—4 to 6 mm; Charmeuse—12 to 30 mm
The thickness may also be affected by the thickness of its cover and the dimensions of its pages. For all intents and purposes, this list only categorizes books whose thickness is determined by page count rather than any of the aforementioned factors. Books exceeding a page count of more than 1,000 pages are rare due to impracticality.
In most of the world, sheet metal thickness is consistently specified in millimeters. In the U.S., the thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional, non-linear measure known as its gauge. The larger the gauge number, the thinner the metal. Commonly used steel sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about 7 gauge.

*5 MPa is 5 ⋅ 10 6 Pascals or 5 ⋅ 10 6 Newtons per meter 2 or about fifty atmospheres pressure. *Solidity ≡ the ratio of the volume of solid to the bulk volume, or the ratio of bulk density to solid grain density d B /d G. Symbols: % v is percent by volume. Rock, mafic igneous: Air in Pores, 5 MPa Solidity = 1 0 % v OPA*: 1.50 5 % v OPA ...
