Tin plate is now sold both on a weight per unit area basis and on a thickness basis. The old unit of area is the base box, equal to the area of 112 sheets, 14 by 20 inches, or 31 360 square inches(217. 78 square feet). The new unit of thickness is the millimetre and the corresponding area designation for pricing and weight or area calculations is the SITA(System International Tin Plate Area) which equals 100 square metres or 4. 9426 base boxes.... The use of symbols to designate gage was displaced by the use of base weights(or basis weights) expressed in pounds per base box that also indicated the approximate thickness of the tin-mill product... With the recent introduction of the metric system(SI) in production, gage is the basic unit for specification and area becomes only a derived value for commercial usage. 2, record 21, English, - base%20box

Tinplate sheets used to manufacture cans and boxes were originally packed into wooden boxes in order to protect the polished tin surface. Sheets cut to 35 cm X 50 cm (14 X 20 in) and of 0.3 mm thickness weighed approx. 454 g (1 lb) and 112 were packed into a box, known as the "basis box". Variation in thickness of sheet cut to the same size would vary the weight, and larger sizes were made, although these were then called "tinned sheets". Modern production techniques favour reeling into rools for shipment, and protection with interleaving of paper or plastic where necessary. 3, record 21, English, - base%20box

Fer blanc (tin plate). [...] Suivant le procédé utilisé, l'épaisseur de la couche d'étain varie de 0,4 micron dans le fer blanc électrolytique à 20 microns dans le fer blanc au trempé. [...] L'appréciation d'un fer blanc est caractérisée d'une part par l'épaisseur et la composition de l'acier de base et, d'autre part, par le taux d'étamage. En France, celui-ci représente la quantité d'étain déposée par unité de surface de feuille sur les deux faces, exprimée en grammes par mètre carré (taux courants : 27 g, 33 g, 40 g, 49 g). En Angleterre, le poids du revêtement d'étain est exprimé en onces par basis box et aux États-Unis en livres par base box (le basis box ou base box étant une unité de surface, utilisée dans l'industrie du fer blanc, et qui équivaut à 40 465 m² de surface étamée). 3, record 21, French, - caisse%20de%20base

The speed of light in a vacuum is an important physical constant denoted by the letter c for "constant" or the Latin word "celeritas" meaning "swiftness". It is the speed of all electromagnetic radiations, including visible light, in a vacuum. More generally, it is the speed of anything having zero rest mass.... In metric units, the speed of light is exactly 299, 792, 458 metres per second(1, 079, 252, 848. 8 km/h). The fundamental SI unit of length, the metre, has been defined since October 21, 1983, as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299, 792, 458 of a second; any increase in the precision of the measurement of the speed of light would refine the definition of the metre, but not alter the numerical value of c. The approximate value of 3x108 m/s is commonly used in rough estimates. In imperial units, the speed of light is about 670, 616, 629. 2 miles per hour or 983, 571, 056 feet per second, which is about 186, 282, 397 miles per second, or roughly one foot per nanosecond. The speed of light when it passes through a transparent or translucent material medium, like glass or air, is slower than its speed in a vacuum. The ratio of c to the observed phase velocity is called the refractive index of the medium. 5, record 25, English, - speed%20of%20light

Another form of expressing iron ore prices is cost per iron ore unit, which is a more universal convention that can be used to compare ores with different grades in each product form. One metric ton iron unit consists of 1% iron in the metric ton of ore or, expressed directly in weight, one metric ton unit consists of 10 kg of iron.
