  2. Kilogram-force per square centimetre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram-force_per_square...

    Use of the kilogram-force per square centimetre continues primarily due to older pressure measurement devices still in use. This use of the unit of pressure provides an intuitive understanding for how a body's mass, in contexts with roughly standard gravity, can apply force to a scale's surface area, i.e. kilogram-force per square (centi-)metre.

  3. Centimetre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centimetre

    Different lengths as in respect to the electromagnetic spectrum, measured by the metre and its derived scales.The microwave is in-between 1 meter to 1 millimeter.. A centimetre or centimeter (US/Philippine spelling), with SI symbol cm, is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one hundredth of a metre, centi being the SI prefix for a factor of ⁠ 1 / 100 ⁠.

  4. Darcy (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_(unit)

    The darcy is referenced to a mixture of unit systems. A medium with a permeability of 1 darcy permits a flow of 1 cm 3 /s of a fluid with viscosity 1 cP (1 mPa·s) under a pressure gradient of 1 atm/cm acting across an area of 1 cm 2.

    Definition. One langley is 1 thermochemical calorie per square centimetre, [2] 41 840 J/m 2 (joules per square metre) [3] See also. Solar constant; Radiant exposure;

  6. Aortic valve area calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valve_area_calculation

    The following hemodynamic parameters were measured. During simultaneous measurement of pressures in the left ventricle and aorta (with the use of one catheter in the left ventricle and a second in the ascending aorta), the mean systolic pressure gradient was measured at 22665 dynes/cm 2. The cardiac output is 13440 milliters/minute.

  7. List of humorous units of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_humorous_units_of...

    A measure of distance equal to about 7 ⁄ 8 of a mile (1.4 km), defined as the closest distance at which sheep remain picturesque. The Sheppey is the creation of Douglas Adams and John Lloyd, included in The Meaning of Liff, their dictionary of putative meanings for words that are actually just place names. [16]

  8. Centimetre–gram–second system of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centimetre–gram–second...

    This definition results in all SI electromagnetic units being numerically consistent (subject to factors of some integer powers of 10) with those of the CGS-EMU system described in further sections. The ampere is a base unit of the SI system, with the same status as the metre, kilogram, and second.

  9. Deep-dose equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-dose_equivalent

    The Deep-dose equivalent (DDE) is a measure of external radiation exposure defined by US regulations. It is reported alongside eye and shallow dose equivalents on typical US dosimetry reports. It represents the dose equivalent at a tissue depth of 1 cm (1000 mg/cm2) due to external whole-body exposure to ionizing radiation. [1]
