I haven’t climbed yet with the 0.3 or 0.4, so while I think the four sizes I did climb with represent the X4 line well, please keep that in mind. The US even insists on a different system of maritime navigation marks whilst everyone else not dominated by big brother uses a different internationally agreed approach. US Standard Fan-Fold (aka green bar): 14-7/8″ by 11″– These are/were for the wide pin-feed (teletype / industrial / factory) printers. In addition to the A-series, there are also the B and C series. The B series extends the range of paper sizes available in the A-series, while the C series is limited to envelopes.

It should therefore be no surprise if the raison d’etre behind the US approach is less than widely understood outside the US. The X4 challenges the paradigmatic understanding that certain designs (Single or U-stem? Three lobes or Four?), come with certain compromises. Like the C3, the X4 attempts to find a balance between four-lobed, single-stem cams and TCUs.As the name indicates, the international system is a global scheme that is used across the globe. It is also known as ISO paper. What differentiates the international system from its North American counterpart is that it encompasses a format that has an aspect ratio equal to the square root of two (1.414). As such, it is a convenient system that makes it easy to change the size or format of a document from printing in an alternative ISO size or format. The most commonly used series within the ISO standard is the A-series, of which the A4 format is particularly popular. All paper sizes within the A-series have a name that starts with A followed by a number. The smaller the number, the larger the paper. While I agree there really is some logic behind the US paper sizes I suggest the gentleman taking umbrage be a little more sensitive to the US approach to ignoring international standards in this and many related areas.

Generally available in 7.500 to 7.650 Metre lengths in Grade 43; however other lengths and grades are available. For your information Kg/m refers to the Kilograms per Metre of the section, as an example a 4.200 Metre length of 50 x 30 x 3mm (RHS) Rectangular Steel Hollow Section (3.45 Kg/m) would weigh (4.2 x 3.45) 14.49 Kg’s Total.Unlike the international system, which has a consistent aspect ratio, the North American system is derived from traditional formats and span more random aspect ratios. The most commonly used paper sizes within the North American system are Letter (8.5 x 11 inches), Legal (8.5 x 14 inches), and Tabloid (11 x 17 inches). The Letter format is the equivalent of the ISO A4 format in terms of its popularity in business and educational use. However, the dimensions of the two are not the same. Generally available in 7.500 to 7.650 Metre lengths in Grade 43; however other lengths and grades are available. For your information Kg/m refers to the Kilograms per Metre of the section, as an example a 4.200 Metre length of 48.3 OD x 3.2mm (CHS) Circular Steel Hollow Section (3.56 Kg/m) would weigh (4.2 x 3.56) 14.952 Kg's Total. 21.3 OD x 3.2mm (CHS) Circular Steel Hollow Section (1.43 Kg/m) This list of the common American and European paper sizes includes the ISO standards, which are used globally. All dimensions are specified in inches, millimeters as well as PostScript points (1/72 inch, always rounded off). The overview covers:

The paper formats that are available within the ANSI are comparable to those on offer in the ISO standard in that dividing a sheet in half will generate two sheets in the next size. Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (4 x 1 = 4) and write that answer below the dividend.

For your information Kg/m refers to the Kilograms per Metre of the section, as an example a 4.200 Metre length of 40 x 40 x 3mm (SHS) Square Steel Hollow Section (3.45 Kg/m) would weigh (4.2 x 3.45) 14.49 Kg’s Total. As a kid I always thought that the half-sheet was just a letter size sheet of paper physically torn in half. Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (4 x 8 = 32) and write that answer at the bottom:
