I'm afraid I don't know the specific English term, but this alternative definition in German may help in your research.

Maßnehmen
Die angegebenen Breitenmaße sind Tischmaße (flachliegend auf dem Tisch gemessen). Das Tischmaß mit 2 multipliziert ergibt das Strumpfumfangsmaß. Die in der Tabelle angegebene untere Strumpfbreite ist 5 cm oberhalb des Strumpfendes gemessen. Die Strumpflänge stellt die Gesamtlänge von Strumpfrand bis Strumpfende dar. Alle Maße können nach oben oder unten abweichen (die Länge bis zu 5 cm), da es sich um ein elastisches Gestrick handelt.

I can find things in English like flat measurement, laid-flat measurement, lay-flat measurement, flat dimensions, etc., but nothing conclusive.
