    Useful Forestry Measurements Acre: A unit of area equaling 43,560 square feet or 10 square chains. Basal Area: The area, usually in square feet, of the cross-section of a tree stem near its base, generally at breast height and inclusive of bark. The basal area per acre measurement gives you some idea of crowding of trees in a stand. Board Foot: A unit of area for measuring lumber equaling 12 inches by 12 inches by 1 inch. Chain: A unit of length. A surveyor’s chain equals 66 feet or 1/80-mile. Cord: A pile of stacked wood measuring 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet when originally conceived. Cubic Foot: A unit of volume measure, wood equivalent to a solid cube that measures 12 inches by 12 inches by 12 inches or 1,728 cubic inches. Cunit: A volume of wood measuring 3 feet and 1-1/2 inches by 4 feet by 8 feet and containing 100 solid cubic feet of wood. D.B.H.

Price $1; (Add 25 percent additional for other than U.S. mailing). Stock No. 003-003-01654-3 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 76-600055 Foreword "Weights and Measures," said John Quincy Adams in 1821, "may be ranked among the necessaries of life to every individual of human society." That sentiment, so appropriate to the agrarian past, is even more appropriate to the technology and commerce of today. The order that we enjoy, the confidence we place in weighing and measuring, is in large part due to the measure- ment standards that have been established. This publication, a reprinting and updating of an earlier publication, provides detailed information on the origin of our standards for mass and length. Ernest Ambler Acting Director iii Preface to 1976 Edition Two publications of the National Bureau of Standards, now out of print, that deal with weights and measures have had widespread use and are still in demand. The publications are NBS Circular 593, The Federal Basis for Weights and Measures (1958), by Ralph W.

  • Explanation of Flow Rate
    Explanation of Flow Rate Rate: ​ Rate problems are any measured amount over another variable (a ratio). An example would be distance over time like miles per hour. It could be unit price of an item or a production rate. Rate problems are very common in all standardized math tests. Examples: $3 Unit Rate­ $3 per gallon is 1 gallon 80 miles 60 minutes 80 miles in 90 minutes is 90 minutes x 1 hour =53.3mph Flow rate is an amount of fluid traveling over time. It is a key concept when working with any fluids from medical to hydraulics. Here we are primarily looking at water flow rates. Flow rate is the amount of water (volume) over time. The amount of water moving through the system can be measured in one of three different units. They are gpm (gallons per minute), mgd (millions of gallons per day), and cfs (cubic feet per second). Example: Convert cfs to gallons per minute: 90 cf 7.5 gallons 60 seconds 90 cubic feet per second is sec x 1 cf X 1 minute =40,500 gallons per minute Instructional video on how to calculate flow rate The conversions are listed below. 7.5 gallons = 1 cubic foot 5280 feet = 1 mile 640 acres = 1 square mile 43560 square feet = 1 acre mgd x 700 = gpm cfs x 449 = gpm Example: A pipeline has a carrying capacity of 3 cfs. How many gpm can it handle? 3 cubic ft. 7.5 gallons 60 seconds 1350 gallons Solution: 1 second x 1 cubic foot x 1 minute = : minute Example: If the dimensions of California are approximately 220 miles wide and 740 miles long, what is the surface area in square miles of our state? Solution: SA = 220 miles x 740 miles = 162,800 square miles Example: If we had a state average annual rainfall of 30 inches, how many acre feet of water would that be? 640 acres 1 ft.

    Handbook 133 – 2020 Appendix E. General Tables of Units of Measurement Appendix E. General Tables of Units of Measurement These tables have been prepared for the benefit of those requiring tables of units for occasional ready reference. In Section 4. Tables of Units of Measurement of this Appendix, the tables are carried out to a large number of decimal places and exact values are indicated by underlining. In most of the other tables, only a limited number of decimal places are given, therefore making the tables better adapted to the average user. Section 1. Tables of Metric Units of Measurement In the metric system of measurement, designations of multiples and subdivisions of any unit may be arrived at by combining with the name of the unit the prefixes deka, hecto, and kilo meaning, respectively, 10, 100, and 1000, and deci, centi, and milli, meaning, respectively, one-tenth, one-hundredth, and one-thousandth. In some of the following metric tables, some such multiples and subdivisions have not been included for the reason that these have little, if any currency in actual usage. In certain cases, particularly in scientific usage, it becomes convenient to provide for multiples larger than 1000 and for subdivisions smaller than one-thousandth. Accordingly, the following prefixes have been introduced and these are now generally recognized: yotta, (Y) meaning 1024 deci, (d), meaning 10-1 zetta, (Z), meaning 1021 centi, (c), meaning 10-2 exa, (E), meaning 1018 milli, (m), meaning 10-3 peta, (P), meaning 1015 micro, (µ), meaning 10-6 tera, (T), meaning 1012 nano, (n), meaning 10-9 giga, (G), meaning 109 pico, (p), meaning 10-12 mega, (M), meaning 106 femto, (f), meaning 10-15 kilo, (k), meaning 103 atto, (a), meaning 10-18 hecto, (h), meaning 102 zepto, (z), meaning 10-21 deka, (da), meaning 101 yocto, (y), meaning 10-24 Thus a kilometer is 1000 meters and a millimeter is 0.001 meter.
