  2. Clearance (civil engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearance_(civil_engineering)

    The horizontal clearance on the paths defines a minimum clearance of adjacent obstacles such as those bollards to allow clear flowing of bike traffic. Some European countries have that specification between 1.6 metres (5 ft 3 in) and 1.75 metres (5 ft 9 in). The second type is horizontal clearance next to the paths.

  3. Dropped ceiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dropped_ceiling

    In general, a minimum clearance of 100 to 200 millimetres (4 to 8 in) is often needed between the lowest obstruction and the level of the ceiling grid. A direct-mount grid may work for those who want the convenience of a dropped ceiling but have limited headroom.

  4. Loft conversions in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loft_conversions_in_the...

    On entering the loft one needs to establish if there is adequate room under the ridge of the roof. A measurement of 2.3 metres is required to allow enough headroom, although you may find that you can still get a useful room from as little as 7 feet (2.1 metres), and there must be at least 2 metres clearance above the position of the access stairs.

  5. Interstate Highway standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_Highway_standards

    Vertical clearance: The minimum vertical clearance under overhead structures, such as bridges, is 16 feet (4.9 m), including both paved shoulders and an allowance for extra layers of pavement. Through urban areas, at least one routing is to have 16-foot (4.9 m) clearances, but others may have a lesser clearance of 14 feet (4.3 m).

  6. Lifting beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_beam

    increase the headroom: slings cannot be stretched close to the horizontal direction, so attaching them directly to the hook requires a minimum distance from the hook to the load. When the lifting beam is used, the slings can be shorter, providing more vertical clearance during lifting;

  7. Headroom (photographic framing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headroom_(photographic...

    Headroom refers specifically to the distance between the top of the subject's head and the top of the frame, but the term is sometimes used instead of lead room, nose room or 'looking room' [1] to include the sense of space on both sides of the image. The amount of headroom that is considered aesthetically pleasing is a dynamic quantity; it ...

  8. Headroom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headroom

    Headroom or HeadRoom may refer to: Look up headroom in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Vertical clearance , in engineering, the maximum distance overhead (the difference between the structure gauge and the loading gauge )

  9. Flight level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_level

    To distinguish altitude from flight level, "on standard" or "on QNH" would be added during initial clearance, such as "climb 4,800 metres on standard" or "descent 2,400 metres on QNH 1020". RVSM was implemented in China at 16:00 UTC on 21 November 2007, and in Mongolia at 00:01 UTC on 17 November 2011.
