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 meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God’s will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at a commensurate speed.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
