Nautical Term: Deck beam dimensions
Definition of Deck beam dimensions
The vertical dimension of a deck beam is referred to as its molding or verified dimension. Conversely, the horizontal measurement of a deck beam is termed its siding or dimensional width.
For instance, during the construction of a wooden sailing ship, the carpenter must ensure the deck beams are accurately measured and installed. The deck beam’s molding and siding dimensions must be carefully recorded and compared against the ship’s original design plans to ensure accuracy and structural integrity.
