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 5, 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 5, English, - base%20box

[...] 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 5, French, - caisse%20de%20base

Ice meter... Objective methods of the icing measurements are based on the icing weight determination related to the unit of area(in meteorology) or to the unit of length(in power supply). The hard rime was determined with the aid of the so-called icing meter bars. They were represented by two wooden bars of 32 mm diameter and 1 m length, i. e. the surface area equals 0, 1 m² per 1 bar. Bars were placed horizontally and perpendicularly to each other. First of them was oriented in north-south direction, the second east-west. The amount of water was measured and result recalculated to kg. m-². These ice meter bars made possible quite reliable evaluation of the icing without having the continual measurement. Nevertheless they are not used contemporary in the meteorological service. 3, record 6, English, - ice%20meter

Bioproductivity of land is the capacity of land to produce primary biological products. It is generally expressed by the weight of plants per unit area and per year either as dry organic matter or as carbon. For harvested crops it is expressed by the weight of useful product in kilograms or tonnes per hectare and per growing season. bioproductivity varies all over the world, for it is very dependent on the type of plant, the climate, and the soil. 2, record 13, English, - bio%2Dproductivity
