Spanish term

Origen de medida

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering materials, load testing
From a testing report on the resistance to loads of roadside barriers.
As I understand it, this is the "original" value, i.e. the absence of deflection before any load is applied, and is given as 0 mm.
I was wondering the technical term for this value.

Reference? 6.11 Sistemas de referencia
Un problema fundamental en la medida del nivel del mar para el estudio de su movimiento vertical respecto el terreno es la referencia u origen de medida. Este origen de medida debe ser calibrado, referenciado y comprobado periódicamente.

that's it Origen de medida is the full sentence. It is an entry on a table: Origen de medida: 0 mm

contexto Estimado MJ Barber,
Si publicaras (si no es confidencial) la frase original donde está tu duda, en lugar de describirla como haces, probablemente sería más fácil ofrecerte una respuesta acertada.
Saludos

Origin

En dibujo geométrico los ángulos se miden en grados sexagesimales. Si imaginamos una circunferencia con dos diámetros perpendiculares, el origen de medida, 0º, lo situamos en el Este. Al Norte tenemos 90º; al Oeste 180º y al Sur 270º cerrando de nuevo en el Este con 360º.

In mathematics, the origin of a Euclidean space is a special point, usually denoted by the letter O, used as a fixed point of reference for the geometry of the surrounding space.

In physical problems, the choice of origin is often arbitrary, meaning any choice of origin will ultimately give the same answer. This allows one to pick an origin point that makes the mathematics as simple as possible, often by taking advantage of some kind of geometric symmetry.

Cuando hablamos de la latitud, tenemos claro que es el ecuador el lugar que tenemos que tomar como origen de medida, pues es la única circunferencia máxima y está perfectamente localizado, pero no ha sido fácil encontrar un meridiano consensuado, a partir del cual medir la longitud.

The most common system for locating points on the earth is with "Longitudes" and "Latitudes". Both longitude and latitude are angles measured with the center of the earth as an origin.
