3 A.1 International System of Units The decimal system of units was conceived in the 16th century when there was a great confusion and jumble of units of weights and measures. It was not until 1790, however, that the French National Assembly requested the French Academy of Sciences to work out a system of units suitable for adoption by the entire world. This system, based on the meter (metre) as a unit of length and the gram as a unit of mass, was adopted as a practical measure to benefit industry and commerce. Physicists soon realized its advantages and it was adopted also in scientific and technical circles. The importance of the regulation of weights and measures was recognized in Article 1, Section 8, when the U.S. Constitution was written in 1787, but the metric system was not legalized in this country until In 1893, the international meter and kilogram became the fundamental standards of length and mass in the United States, both for metric and customary weights and measures. The tables of conversion factors presented here are intended to serve two purposes: 1. To express the definitions of miscellaneous units of measure as exact numeral multiples of coherent metric units. Relationships that are exact in terms of the base unit are followed by an asterisk. Relationships that are not followed by an asterisk are either the results of physical measurements or are only approximate. 2. To provide multiplying factors for converting expressions of measurements given by numbers and miscellaneous units to corresponding new numbers and metric units. Conversion factors are presented for ready adaptation to computer readout and electronic data transmission. The factors are written as a number equal to or greater than 1 and less than 10 with six or fewer decimal places. This number is followed by the letter E (for exponent), a plus or minus symbol, and two digits that indicate the power of 10 by which the number must be multiplied to obtain the correct value. For example: E-02 is or Similarly, or E+03 is An asterisk (*) after the sixth decimal place indicates that the conversion factor is exact and that all subsequent digits are zero. When a figure is to be rounded to fewer digits than the total number available, the procedure should be as follows: 1. When the first digit discarded is less than 5, the last digit retained should not be changed. For example, , if rounded to four digits, would be 3.463; if rounded to three digits, When the first digit discarded is greater than or if it is a 5, followed by at least one digit other than 0, the last figure retained should be increased by one unit. For example , if rounded to four digits, would be 8.377; if rounded to three digits, When the first digit discarded is exactly 5, followed only by zeros, the last digit retained should be rounded upward if it is an odd number, but no adjustment made if it is an even number. For example, 4.365, when rounded to three digits, becomes The number would also round to the same value, 4.36, if rounded to three digits. Where fewer than six decimal places is shown, more precision is not warranted. 1767

In 1959, a small refinement was made in the definition of the yard to resolve discrepancies Btu (thermochemical) in./h ft 2 F (k, thermal conductivity) watt per meter-kelvin (W/mK) E-01 both in this country and abroad, which changed its length from 3600/3937 m to m Btu (International Table) in./s ft 2 F watt per meter-kelvin (W/mK) E+02 exactly. This resulted in the new value being shorter by two parts in a million. (k, thermal conductivity) At the same time it was decided that any data in feet derived from and published as a result Btu (thermochemical) in./s ft 2 F watt per meter-kelvin E+02 of geodetic surveys within the United States would remain with the old standard (1 ft = 1200/3937 m) until further decision. This foot is named the U.S. survey foot. (k, thermal conductivity) (W/mK) As a result all U.S. land measurements in U.S. customary units will relate to the meter by Btu (International Table)/h E-01 the old standard. All the conversion factors in these tables for units referenced to this footnote Btu (International Table)/s E+03 are based on the U.S. survey foot, rather than the international foot. Conversion factors for the land measures given below may be determined from the following Btu (thermochemical)/h E+01 relationships: Btu (thermochemical)/min E+01 1 league = 3 miles (exactly) Btu (thermochemical)/s E+03 1 rod = 16 / 2 feet (exactly) 1 section = 1 square mile (exactly) Btu (International Table)/ft 2 joule per meter 2 (J/m 2 ) E+04 1 township = 36 square miles (exactly) 1 chain = 66 feet (exactly) b This value was adopted in Some of the older International Tables use the value E+03.

Wide use is also made of the degree Celsius ( C), which is the SI unit for expressing Celsius temperature and temperature intervals. The Celsius scale (formerly called centigrade) is related directly to thermodynamic temperature (kelvins) as follows: 1. The temperature interval one degree Celsius equals one kelvin exactly. 2. Celsius temperature (t) is related to thermodynamic temperature (T) by the equation t = T - T 0, where T 0 = K by definition. faraday (based on carbon-12) faraday (chemical) faraday (physical) fathom fermi (femtometer) fluid ounce (U.S.) foot foot (U.S. survey) a foot of water (39.2 F) ft 2 ft 2 /h (thermal diffusivity) ft 2 /s ft 3 (volume; section modulus) ft 3 /min ft 3 /s ft 4 (moment of section) d ft/h ft/min ft/s ft/s 2 footcandle footlambert F coulomb (C) coulomb (C) coulomb (C) meter 2 (m 2 ) meter 2 per second (m 2 /s) meter 2 per second (m 2 /s) meter 3 per second (m 3 /s) meter 3 per second (m 3 /s) meter 4 (m 4 ) meter per second (m/s) meter per second (m/s) meter per second (m/s) meter per second 2 (m/s 2 ) lux (lx) candela per meter 2 (cd/m 2 ) d This is sometimes called the moment of inertia of a plane section about a specified axis E E E E *E E *E E E *E *E *E E E E E E *E *E *E E E+00 A.1 International System of Units 1771
