What are the dimensions of the cylindrical concrete monuments marked 'P.S.'?

Standard size for cylindrical concrete monuments marked 'P.S.' is 15 cm in diameter and 50 cm in height. This dimension provides a durable, stable marker that remains legible and resistant to soil movement or tampering once embedded. A 15 cm diameter yields enough surface area for the 'P.S.' inscription and any identification marks, while still being practical to manufacture and install. A height of 50 cm keeps the marker clearly visible above typical ground cover and makes it easier to locate during surveys, without being so tall that it becomes a hazard or cumbersome to handle. The other options either would be too small to accommodate legible labeling and structural stability, or unnecessarily large and heavy for regular use, which is why the 15 x 50 centimeters size is the standard.
