Dimensions of A Paper Sizes in Metres, Centimetres, Feet, Yards & HPGL

Do you ever hear about A Series Paper Sizes? Here we are going to discuss Dimensions of A Series Paper Sizes in All Units. So, we have been talking about papers for quite a long time. You must have now noticed the advantages of the ISO 216 Standard and how it has made the lives of the people more comfortable. The most common papers in use for business, legal and household works are the A-Series and the B Series Paper Sizes. The C Series Paper Sizes are generally in use for Envelope Sizes and so on.

It is essential for us to know the dimensions of the most used paper sizes in all units because our documents and papers keep converting forms from one to another, i.e., sometimes, we are printing something, sometimes scanning and sometimes uploading to the cloud, etc. Knowing the dimensions in all possible and most used units makes it easier for us to convert or resize or shape the paper quickly. Today we are going to talk about the A Series Paper Sizes in all units.

Dimensions of A Series Paper Sizes in Metres, Centimetres, Millimetres, and Micrometres

Meters, Centimetres, Millimetres, and Micrometres are some of the Standard units definitely by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and have been clearly explicit as rules. i.e., these units never carry irrespective of changes in weather or anything else. These are so precisely definite because they are in use by most of the countries in the world who follow the ISO. Thus, it is essential to know these conventions for conversions from one of these units to another. The meetings are as follows:

The 4A0 Size has the largest dimensions of the A Series Paper Sizes regarding breadth x length. It is 1682000 μm x 2378000 μm or 1682 mm x 2378 mm or 168.2 cm x 237.8 cm or 1.682 m x 2.378 m. The A10 Size has the smallest dimensions of the A Series Paper Sizes regarding breadth x length, i.e., dimensions of 26000 μm x 37000 μm or 26 mm x 37 mm or 2.6 cm x 3.7 cm or 0.026 m x 0.037 m. You can easily calculate the dimensions of the other sizes using these conventions.

Dimensions of A Series Paper Sizes in Yards, Feet, Inches, and Thou

Although most countries have accepted the ISO Standard units, some countries like the US and other Northern American Countries continue to follow their traditional conventional groups for weights and measures. These countries use units like Yards, Feet, Inches, and Thou for measurements. Also, these units are the Imperial and US Customary units. Moreover, as these countries are one of the first world countries, it is essential for us to know and understand the A Series Paper dimensions in their units. The dimensions are as follows:

The 4A0 Size has the largest dimensions of the A Series Paper Sizes in terms of breadth x length, i.e. dimensions of 66220 th x 93622 th or 66.220 in x 93.622 in or 5.518 ft x 7.802 ft or 1.839 yd x 2.601 yds. The A10 Size has the smallest dimensions of the A Series Paper Sizes in terms of breadth x length, i.e. dimensions of 1024 th x 1457 th or 1.024 in x 1.457 in or 0.085 ft x 0.121 ft or 0.028 yd x 0.040 yds. You can easily calculate the dimensions of the other sizes using these conventions and they range between these smallest and largest sizes.

If you want to convert these sizes into the ISO standards, do the following for conversions:

1 Yard    = 0.9144 Metre

1 Foot   = 0.3048 Metre

1 Inch    = 0.0254 Metre

1 Thou  = 0.0000254 Metre

After converting into Metres, other units can also be achieved. You can use the conventions for converting Metres into Centimetres, Millimetres, and Micrometres.

Dimensions of A Series Paper Sizes in Points, Pica and HPGL Units

In the digital age, it is essential we know the A Series Paper sizes. It could be regarding display points, pixels and other units used by printers and displays. Also, It is important to learn to quickly convert into either of these units for ease of purpose and documentation. For Dimensions of A Series Paper in Pixels, please click here. Here, we will talk about the Dimensions of A series Paper in Point, Pica, and HPGL units. The conventions are as follows:

1 Point                  = 0.083334 Pica

1 Pica                     = 11.99999 Points

1 Point                  = 14.11074 HPGL Units

1 HGPL Units      = 0.070868 Points

1 Pica                     = 169.3431 HPGL Units

1 HGPL Units      = 0.005905 Pica

We have used the modern desktop publishing point and pica where:

1 Point = 1/72 Inch             and        1 Pica = 1/6 Inch

HPGL Units are Hewlett Packard Graphics Language Units. Printers use them

And plotters. The conventions as per other units are as follows:

40 HPGL Units = 1 mm    and        1016 HPGL Units = 1 Inch

The 4A0 Size has the largest dimensions of the A Series Paper Sizes regarding breadth x length. So, the dimensions are 397.3 x 561.7 in pica, 4768 x 6741 in points, and 67280 x 95120 in HPGL Units. The A10 Size has the smallest dimensions of the A Series Paper Sizes regarding breadth x length. It is 6.1 x 8.7 in pica, 74 x 105 in points, and 1040 x 1480 in HPGL Units. Also, we can easily calculate the dimensions of the other sizes by using these conventions. Moreover, they range between the smallest and largest sizes in these 3 units only.
