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:
“I don’t have any problem with a reporter or a news person who says the President is uninformed on this issue or that issue. I don’t think any of us would challenge that. I do have a problem with the singular focus on this, as if that’s the only standard by which we ought to judge a president. What we learned in the last administration was how little having an encyclopedic grasp of all the facts has to do with governing.”
—David R. Gergen (b. 1942)
