    However, the 3 + 12-inch (89 mm) 12-gauge shell, with its higher SAAMI pressure rating of 14,000 psi (97 MPa) compared to standard 2 + 3 ⁄ 4-inch (70 mm) and 3-inch (76 mm) 12-gauge shells with their lower pressure rating of 11,500 psi (79 MPa), began to approach the performance of the 3 + 12-inch (89 mm) 10-gauge shells with a ...

  3. French catheter scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_catheter_scale

    [1] The Charrière is measured by the ''outer'' diameter, and is defined as 1 Fr = 1/3 mm, and thus 1 mm = 3 Fr; therefore the diameter of a round catheter in millimetres can be determined by dividing the French size by 3. [2] The French units roughly correspond to the outer circumference of the catheter (see table below).

  4. Optical format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_format

    The optical format is approximately the diagonal length of the sensor multiplied by 3/2. The result is expressed in inches and is usually (but not always) rounded to a convenient fraction. For instance, a 6.4x4.8 mm sensor has a diagonal of 8.0 mm and therefore an optical format of 8.0*3/2 = 12 mm, which is expressed as inch in imperial units.

    For instance the same angle of 0.1 mrad will subtend 10 mm at 100 meters, 20 mm at 200 meters, etc., or similarly 0.39 inches at 100 m, 0.78 inches at 200 m, etc. Subtensions in mrad based optics are particularly useful together with target sizes and shooting distances in metric units .

    Metric ( SI) units. 25.4 mm. A fire hydrant marked as 3-inch. The inch (symbol: in or ″) is a unit of length in the British Imperial and the United States customary systems of measurement. It is equal to ⁠ 1 36 ⁠ yard or ⁠ 1 12 ⁠ of a foot. Derived from the Roman uncia ("twelfth"), the word inch is also sometimes used to translate ...

    From 1.0 through 2.95 mm, sizes are defined as follows, where N is an integer from 10 through 29: N · 0.1 mm; N · 0.1 + 0.05 mm; From 3.0 through 13.9 mm, sizes are defined as follows, where N is an integer from 30 through 139: N · 0.1 mm; From 14.0 through 25.0 mm, sizes are defined as follows, where M is an integer from 14 through 25: M ...

    The customary system is offset by 1 ⁄ 4 barleycorn, or 1 ⁄ 12 in (2.12 mm), comparing to the UK sizes. The men's range starts at size 1, with zero point corresponding to the children's size 13 which equals 24 + 3 ⁄ 4 barleycorns or 8 + 1 ⁄ 4 inches (20.96 cm). However, most US manufacturers are using greater offsets, such as 12 and ...
