Features: This table is divided into four parts: thin plate, medium plate, thick plate, and extra-thick plate, providing data for various specifications of plate materials. The names of the plates in this table are named according to the new international standard "Timber" regarding "Plates: Width dimensions that are twice or more than the thickness dimensions." To better meet practical needs, the scope has been expanded. For example, the new national standard specifies thin plates as 012, 015, 015, and 021; however, the thin plate listed in this table has a thickness of 0.006. Similarly, the international standard specifies thick plates as 04, 05, and 06; the thickness listed in this table is 0.105. These thicknesses are mostly required in daily life and are especially indispensable in construction. The lengths of the timber plates in this table are determined based on a combination of international standards and common practices. The national standard only includes 2.5 meters as an odd number. The number of pieces in this table ranges from 2 to 9 (the volume of a single piece listed is determined based on actual usage, with four decimal places after the decimal point, and the fifth decimal place is rounded off; exceptions apply for special specifications). For quantities less than 10 pieces, they can be directly found in the table. For lengths below 2 meters, five decimal places are used after the decimal point, and the sixth decimal place is rounded off. The units of measurement in this table are all in "meters" and "cubic meters."
