Measurement is the process of assigning a number to an attribute (or phenomenon) according to a rule or set of rules. The term can also be used to refer to the result obtained after performing the process.

History

Main article: History of measurement

The word measurement comes from the Greek "metron," meaning limited proportion.

The history of measurements is a topic within the history of science and technology.

Metre

The metre (U.S.: meter) was standardized as the unit for length after the French revolution, and has since been adopted throughout most of the world.

Standards

Laws to regulate measurement were originally developed to prevent fraud. However, units of measurement are now generally defined on a scientific basis, and are established by international treaties. In the United States, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a division of the United States Department of Commerce, regulates commercial measurements. In the United Kingdom, the role is performed by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL).

A. Typically filters are measured by inches. For instance a filter may be 20"x25"x1". That's height, width and thickness. Pleated filters provide more surface area for dirt and particulate matter to accumulate on and will do a slightly better job than flat standard types.
