Yes, 4×6 is a standard and most common 35mm picture format. Other standards are 5×7, 8×10, 8.5×11(letter size), 11×14, 16×20, 24×36, etc. There are many more in between standard sizes which are not so common. However, remember, these are US standards.

Rob Johnstone: The “quarter system” is a metric for roughsawn lumber. It simply refers to how many 1/4-inches thick the rough stock is. For example, 4/4 (read out loud as four-quarters) is 1-in. thick in the rough. 5/4 is 1-1/4-in.

Q: Why is the length of a precut stud 92-5/8 in.? With the sole plate and two top plates at 1-1/2 in. each, the total wall height is 97-1/8 in.

In manufacturing, a nominal size or trade size is a size “in name only” used for identification. The nominal size may not match any dimension of the product, but within the domain of that product the nominal size may correspond to a large number of highly standardized dimensions and tolerances.

A piece of surfaced (sanded smooth) 2×4 lumber actually measures 1½ inches thick and 3½ inches wide. In rough-cut condition, a 2×4 is slightly less than 2 inches thick and approximately 4 inches wide. When wood is milled from a rough to a smooth surface, it loses about ¼-inch from each of its four sides.

When you buy a sheet of plywood, you know exactly what size you’re getting, unlike with other types of lumber that have nominal and actual measurements. For example, a 4X8-foot sheet of 1/2-inch plywood measures exactly 4 by 8 feet and is exactly 1/2-inch thick.

Everybody has heard of a 2×4 (pronounced “two by four”), but few people realize that the actual height and width of a 2×4 is really somewhere close to 1 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ depending on dryness of the material and milling methods. Similarly, a 1x (pronounced “one-by”) is only about 3/4″ in thickness.

Lumber. The “nominal” cross-section dimensions of a piece of lumber, such as 2 X 4 or 1 X 6, are always somewhat larger than the actual, or dressed, dimensions. The reason is that dressed lumber has been surfaced or planed smooth on four sides (called S4S). The nominal measurement is made before the lumber is surfaced.

“5/4″ means the deck boards are only 1.25″ thick. Standard 2x lumber is 1.5″ thick. This difference doesn’t matter for a 16” on-center joist spacing unless you plan on laying your decking diagonally.

However, some, but not all thicknesses are still available in approximate Imperial sizes: 6mm (1/4″), 9.5mm (3/8″), 12.5mm (1/2″), 15.5mm (5/8″), 19mm (3/4″), and 25.5mm (1″).2.and groove plywood is usually available in Sheathing, Select, and Select Tight Face Grades in thicknesses of 12.5mm and greater.3.thicknesses

Board Foot: Rough sawn lumber is usually sold by the “board foot” (bd. ft.). A board foot is equal to a piece of wood 12 inches long x 12 inches wide and 1 inch thick, or 144 cubic inches. To figure the board foot measurement of a piece of wood, multiply the length x width x thickness in inches, then divide by 144.

4 x 2 (2WD) A 4×2 or 2WD is a vehicle that has a two-wheel drive (2WD) with four wheels. “4×2” in a 2WD vehicle means there are 4 wheels total and 2 wheels that are driven. The driven wheels can be either back or front wheels but are usually the back wheels.
