Petrograd Standard is an old Nordic measure for softwood timber. Largest barques could transport up to 1000 stds.
- 1 std of board equals 165 (English) cubic feet or 1980 board foot, or 120 pieces 12′ × 11″ × 1½″, or 4.672 cubic meters.
- 1 std of round wood equals 120 cubic feet, or 3.398 m³
Note that Kristiania Standard is 5/8 of Petrograd Standard, and London Standard is 270 cu. ft.
Famous quotes containing the word standard:
“The urge for Chinese food is always unpredictable: famous for no occasion, standard fare for no holiday, and the constant as to demand is either whim, the needy plebiscite of instantly famished drunks, or pregnancy.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
