The Measurements of A3 Paper...
A3 paper is used widely throughout the
world. In the United States, Mexico, Canada, and the Philippines, this size and other ISO (International Standards Organization) paper sizes are
in limited use only. The naming convention "A3" comes from
the ISO metric-based paper size measurement system.
The ISO measurements of A3 paper:
|
420 mm
|
|
(Metric system, mm
= millimeters)
|
|
|
297 mm
|
|
By comparison to the English system of measurement, A3 paper is functionally
equivalent to B-Size paper, which measures 11" x 17". The dimensions
are not the same, but the relative paper sizes are similar. 11" x
17" paper in the United States is functionally equivalent to A3 paper in
Europe or Japan, for example.
The English-based measurements of A3 paper (converted from metric):
|
16.54 in.
|
|
(English system,
in. = inches)
Note: dimensions converted from the metric measurements of A3 paper.
|
