Tncluded also are references to other documents which the user will find useful. The Appendices contain worked exam- ples and other notes which iti felt might be appreciated. SI UNITS ‘The basic and derived units listed in this manual are consistent with those already adopted in metric-using countries following the Syst#me International (SI). The basic SI Units of the Metric System and their definitions are as follows— Length ‘The unit of length called the ‘metre’ is 1 650 763-73 wave- Tengths in vacuo of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the energy levels 2 pp and 5 d, of the krypton-86 atom (11th Conférence Géneral des Poids et Mésures (CGPM) 1960), Mass The unit of mass called the ‘kilogramme? is the mass of the international prototype which is in the custody of the Bureau International des Poids et Mésures (BIPM) at Stvres, near Paris, France (3rd CGPM, 1901), Time ‘The unit of time called the ‘second? is defined by the fraction: 1/31 556 925-9747 of the tropical year for 1900 January 0 at 12 h ephemeris time (1th CGPM, 1960). (The tropical year is the time interval between consecu- tive passages, in the same direction, of the Sun through the Earth's equatorial plane.) Electric Current ‘The unit of electric current called the ‘ampere’ is that constant current which, if maintained in two parallel rectilinear conductors of infinite length, of neglible circular cross-section, and placed at a distance of one ‘metre apart in a vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 x 10-7 newtons per metre length (9th CGPM, 1948). ‘Thermodynamic Temperature ‘The unit of thermodynamic temperature called the ‘degree Kelvin’ is the degree interval of the thermo- dynamic scale on which the temperature of the triple point of water is 27316 degrees exactly (10th CGPM, 1954). (Wot. The corresponding temperature ofthe ice point is 77315°K.) Luminous Intensity The unit of Iuminous intensity called the ‘candela’ is Such that the luminance of a full radiator at the tem. Perature of solidification of platioum is 60 units of luminous intensity per square centimetre (Oth CGPM, 1948). COHERENCE AND CONSISTENCY ‘The International System (SI) is a coherent system of units. This is shown by the quotient or produet of the units of two quantities giving the unit of the derived quantity. Thus, unit velocity results when unit length is, divided by unit time, and unit force when unit mass is multiplied by unit acceleration. The basic SI units are also consistent between technologies. For example, ‘energy is given by the equation: I newton metre = 1 joule = 1 watt second. On the other hand, the inconsistent nature of both the British system of units and the metric ‘technical’ system. (still in use in some continental countries, but losing favour) can be shown by two similar energy equations 1 fe bf = 1-285 x 10-* Btu = 0377 x 10-* kWh for the British system, and | kfm — 2:342 x 10- keal = 2-724 x 10-# kWh for the unfavoured metric ‘technical’ system. WEIGHT (FORCE) AND MASS (QUANTITY OF MATTER) Mass will be quoted in kilogrammes whereas weight, being a force, should be given in newtons. Where both ‘mass and weight are important features, such as occurs, with pipe, tables should give values in both senses using, the appropriate units. Although the term ‘weight’ may continue to be used Where ‘mass’ is intended, the difference must be recognised when, say, calculating the stress in a pipe anger due to the ‘weight’ of the pipe and contents as opposed to the heat capacity of the pipe and contents wiere ‘mass’ is, involved and gravitational force has no significance. MULTIPLES AND SUB-MULTIPLES ‘The multiples and sub-multiples ofthe basic SI units are: Symbol Prefix ‘Multiplication Factor a tera 10% G size 10" M ‘mega 108 k kilo 10 h hecto 0 da deca 10 4 deci 108 © centi 10? mill 10 - micro lo 1 mano 10+ 10-8 Pp pico f femnto 1058 a att? 10 Notes. (H) The prefix always refers to the basic unit to which it is attached. This becomes important when multiples are raised to powers: ie. am? 8000 cm* = 8000 (centimetre)* ‘8000 (10-* m)? 3000 x 10-* m? x 10 mt = 0-008 m* (ii) Indices (@ x 108) x (b x 107) =a x bx 1OK+¥ (@ x 109 = (0 x 10)= 2 x 1-7 (a x 1097 ay x 100 55 x10? x 66 % 10-9 Tea oe 55 ees en 47x10 a4 ex. (iii) The IHVE Guide will use, as far as practicable, the basic SI unit and appropriate multiple so as to avoid, eg. 10-* kW (millikilowatt). When multiples of ST units are used, e.g, litre, the system is not coherent, and these should be translated into basic SI units before applying formulae. SCREW THREADS (@) General It is virtually certain that ISO* standard metric threads will be adopted eventually by this country. It must be noted that although there are ISO standards for both, coarse and fine threads these are not comparable with Whitworth or BSF or with UNC and UNF. ISO coarse threads are finer than Whitworth and the ISO fine threads are even finer than UNF and much finer than BSF. Generally BSF threaded fasteners may be replaced by ISO coarse. It is unlikely that ISO fine threads will be ‘much used in general engineering. ©) Pipes ‘These ate covered by ISO Recommendation R7 and are completely interchangeable with threads to BS21, No change is therefore required PIPE SIZES (@) Light Gauge Copper Tubes For the time being the standard tubes will be those given in BS659 : 1967 which now has a table giving the metric equivalent dimensions. At the moment there is no International Standard but an ISO Committee has the matter under consideration. (© Steel Tubes Metric Standard steel tubes have been determined and are covered by ISO Recommendation R65. In fact these tubes are the exact metric equivalent of those covered by 'BS1387 and are completely interchangeable with the British Standard tubes, no change therefore being necessary.

This was not satisfactory, since heat units were defined for different positions in the temperature scale by different authorities and specific heats vary with temper- ature. There is now an international agreement defining. the joule as the basic heat unit. This does not involve the use of water and, since its specific heat capacity is now 41868 ki /kg deg C, the term is not defined as a ratio. The term now adopted includes the word ‘capacity’ to distin- ‘guish it from the old term, Specific Heat Capacity in kke deg C oc c isc | oe 42174 42045 41855 | 42145 Specific Heat Capacities of Air and Steam at Constant Pressure Specific Heat Capacity in kfkg deg C Tem 20°C 109°C ‘Aire Yor 1017 Steam 1390 1982 "Dry and at standard atmospheric pressure, Latent Heat of Vaporisation of Water VALUES Specific Heat Capacities of Various Solids and Liquids Ses Heat Capcity en mune see” | repertre ck we Biett ins a Bs Baa we i : ad ncBine os BS SE Se BES ae g neers Fb.
