NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Second Revision) which is identical with IS0 1000 : 1992 SI units and recommendations for the use of their multiples and of certain other units, issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Basic Standards Sectional Committee (MSD 1) and approval of the Management and Systems Division Council.

The text of the IS0 Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the-following:

a) Comma ( , ) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards the current practice is to use full point ( ) as the decimal marker.

b) Wherever the words International Standard appear referring to this standard, they should be read as Indian Standard.

This standard was first published in 1980 and then revised in 1985.

In this second revision, the following changes have been made:

a) Quantities and units from IS 1890 (Parts 9, 10, 12, and 13)/ISO 31 (Parts 9, 10, 12 and 13) have been added to Annex A (Normative) giving examples of decimal multiples and sub- multiples of SI units and of some other units which may be used. A cross reference to the item numbers of relevant standard has been made.

b) The old definition of metre in Annex B has been replaced by new definition.

c) The decision by International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) in 1980 concerning the status of supplementary units has been incorporated.

In the adopted standard, normative references appear to certain International Standards for which Indian Standards also exist. The corresponding Indian Standards which are to be substituted in their place are listed below along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated:

3 SI units

The name International System of Units (Systeme International dunites), with the international abbrevi- ation SI, was adopted by the 11 th General Conference on Weights and Measures (Conference G&kale des Poids et Mesures, CGPM) in 1960.

This system includes:

- base units

- derived units including supplementary units

which together form the coherent system of SI units.

3.1 Base wits

The International System of Units is based on the seven base units listed in table 1.

For the definitions of the base units, see annex 6.

~3.2 Derived units including supplementary units

Derived units are expressed algebraically in terms of base units. Their symbols are obtained by means of the mathematical signs of multiplication and division; for example, the SI unit for velocity is metre per second (m/s).

For some of the SI derived units, special names and symbols exist; those approved by the CGPM are listed in tables 2 and 3.

The SI units radian and steradian are called supplementary units. They are dimensionless derived units (more precisely, derived units of dimension one) with special names and symbols. Although the coherent unit for plane angle and for solid angle is expressed by the number 1, it is convenient to use the special names radian (rad) and steradian (sr) respec-

tively instead of the number 1 in many practical cases; for example the SI unit for angutar velocity can be written as radian per second (rad/s).

It may sometimes be useful to express derived units in terms of other derived units having special names; for example, the SI unit for electric dipole moment is usually expressed as C - m instead of A. s - m.

4 Multiples of SI units

The prefixes given in table4 are used to form names and symbols of multiples (decimal multiples and sub- multiples) of the SI units.

The symbol of a prefix is considered to be combined with the kernel symbol to which it is directly attached, forming with it a new symbol (for a decimal multiple or sub-multiple) which can be raised to a positive or negative power, and which can be combined with other unit symbols to form symbols for compound units.

EXAMPLES

= (JO-* m)3 = 10b6m3

1 ps- z (lo-6s)- = 106s-

1 mm*/s = (10m3 m)*/s = lo- m*/s

Compound prefixes shall not be used; for example, write nm for nanometre, not mFm.

NOTE 1 For historical reasons the name of the base unit for mass, the kilogram, contains the name of the SI prefix kilo. Names of the decimal multiples and sub-multiples Df the unit of mass are formed by adding the prefixes to the word gram, e.g. milligram (mg) instead of microkilogram

Mg).

3) In this case, the term kernel symbol means only a symbol for a base unit or a derived unit with a special name. See, however, note 1 in clause 4 about the base unit the kilogram.

5 Use of SI units and their multiples

5.1 The choice of the appropriate multiple (decimal multiple or sub-multiple) of an SI unit is governed by convenience, the multiple chosen for a particular- ap- plication being the one which will lead to numerical values within a practical range.

5.2 The multiple can usually be chosen so that the numerical values will be between 0,l and 1 000. In the case of a compound unit containing a unit to the second or third power, this is not always possible.

EXAMPLES

I,2 x lo4 N can be written as 12 kN

0,003 94 m can be written as 3,94 mm

1 401 Pa can be written as 1,401 kPa

3,l x 10-8s can be written as 31 ns

However, in a table of values of the same quantity or in a discussion of such values within a given context, it will generally be better to use the same multiple for all items, even if some of the numerical values will then be outside the range 0,l to 1 000. For certain quantities in particular applications, the same multiple is customarily used; for example, the millimetre is used for dimensions in most mechanical engineering drawings.

5.3 The number ~of prefixes used in formrng compound units should be limited as far as is compatible with practical usage.

5.4 Errors in calculations can be avoided more easrly if all quantities are expressed in SI units, powers of 10 being used instead of prefixes.

6 Rules for writing unit symbols

6.1 Unit symbols shall be printed in roman (upright) type (irrespective of the type used in the rest of the text), shall remain unaltered in the plural, shail be written without a final full stop (period) except for normal punctuation, e.g. at the end of a sentence, and shall be placed after the complete numerical value in

4

IS 10005 : 1994 IS0 1uw: 1992

the expression for a quantity, leaving a space be- 7 tween the numerical value and the unit symbol,

Non-S1 units which may be used with SI units and their multiples

Unit symbols shall in general be written in lower case letters except that the first letter is written in upper case when the name .of the unit is derived from a proper name.

7.1 There are certain units, outside the SI, recognized by the CIPM as having to be retained because of their practical importance (see tables 5 and 6).

EXAMPLES

m metre

S second

A ampere

Wb weber

7.2 Prefixes given in table4 may be attached to some of the units given in tables 5 and 6; for example, millilitre, ml. (See also annex A, column 6.)

7.3 In a limited number of cases, compound units are formed with the units given in tables 5 and 6 together with SI units and their multiples; for example, kg/h; km/h. (See also annex A, columns 5 and 6.)

6.2 When a compound unit is formed by multiplication of two or more units, this should be indicated in one of the following ways:

N-m, Nm

NOT5 ,

2 In systems with limited character sets a dot on the line is used instead of a half-high dot.

3 The latter form may also be written without a space, provided that special care is taken when the symbol for one of the units is the same as the symbol for a prefix, e.g. mN is used only for millinewton, not for metre newton.

When a compound unit is formed by dividing one unit by another, this should be indicated in one of the following ways:

m S m/s, m - s-l.

A solidus (/) shall not be followed by a multiplication sign or a division sign on the same line unless parentheses are inserted to avoid any ambiguity. In complicated cases negative powers or parentheses shall be used.

NOTE 4 There are some other units outside the SI which are recognized by the CIPM for temporary use. They are given in column 7 of the table in annex A and marked by an asterisk (*).

Examples of -decimal multiples and sub-multiples of SI units and of some

(normative)

other units which may be used

For a number of commonly used quantities, examples of decimal multiples and sub-multiples of SI units, as well as of some other units which may be used, are given in this annex. It is suggested that the selection shown, while not intended to be restrictive, will none the less prove helpful in presenting values of quantities in an identical manner in similar contexts within the various sectors of technology. For some needs (for example, in applications in science and education), it is recognized that greater freedom will be required in the choice of decimal multiples and sub-multiples of SI units than is exemplified in the list which follows.

Annex B (informative)

Definitions of the base units of the international system of units

metre: The metre is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of l/299 792 458 of a second.

[17th CGPM (1983), Resolution I]

kilogram: The kilogram is the unit of mass; it is equal to the mass of the international prototype of the kilogram.

[3rd CGPM (1901)]

second: The second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods-of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom.

[13th CGPM (1967), Resolution l]

ampere: The ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed 1 metre apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 x Leo_ newton per metre of length.

[CIPM (1946), Resolution 2 approved by the 9th CGPM (1948)]

kelvin: The kelvin, unit of thermodynamic temperature, is the fraction l/273,16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water.

[13th CGPM (1967), Resolution 4)

NOTES

5 The 13th CGPM (1967, Resolution 3) also decided that the unit kelvin and its symbol K should be used to express an interval or a difference of temperature.

6 In addition to the thermodynamic temperature (symbol T), expressed in kelvins, use is also made of Celsius temperature (symbol r) defined by the equation t-T-To, where TO = 273,15 K by definition. To express Celsius temperature, the unit degree Celsius, which is equal to the unit kelvin, is used; in this case, degree Celsius is a special name used in place of kelvin. An interval or difference of Celsius temperature can, however, be expressed in kelvins as well was in degrees Celsius.

mole: The mole is the amount of substance of a system which contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0,012 kilograms of carbon-l 2. When the mole is used, the elementary entities must be specified -and may be atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, other particles, or specified groups of such particles.

[14th CGPM (1971), Resolution 33

candela: The candela is the luminous intensity, in a given direction, of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 x 1 012 hertz and that has a radiant intensity in that direction of l/683 watt per steradian.

[16th CGPM (1979), Resolution 31
