MEASUREMENTS The first two paragraphs of 109.01, Measurement of Quantities reads as follows: (a) General Requirements All measurements of work completed under the contract will be according to the English System unless otherwise specified. The standard measures shown in this publication are primarily in the English System of Units such as feet and inches, pounds, gallons, and acres. Any metric equivalents, shown in parentheses, are intended only for those contracts in which they are specified, or to maintain consistency with industry standards. No guarantee is provided, explicit or implicit, that the units are accurate conversions. The following table and general notes are provided to assist you in becoming familiar with the metric system.

(*) Conversion from SI unit to English unit may be made by dividing the SI unit by the conversion factor shown in this column. (**) This is a formula, and not a multiplier. The Fahrenheit temperature is substituted for °F in the formula to attain the Celsius temperature. Conversion from Celsius

temperature to Fahrenheit temperature may be made by substituting the Celsius temperature for °C in the formula (1.8 x °C) +32. This is an exact conversion. Angles will continue to be measured in degrees, minutes, and seconds instead of radians.

GENERAL NOTES 1. The SI unit of millimeter should be used to convert inches to millimeters. 2. The SI unit of Mass is the Kilogram (Kg) which should be used for smaller

masses expressed in pounds. The megagram (Mg) should be used for larger masses expressed in tons.

3. All units peculiar to the various cgs systems (measurement systems constructed

by using the centimeter, gram and second as base units) are to be avoided. 4. In commercial and everyday use, the term weight nearly always means mass;

thus, when one speaks of a person’s weight, the quantity referred to is mass. In Science and Technology, the term weight of a body has usually meant the force that, if applied to the body, would give it an acceleration equal to the local acceleration of free fall g (acceleration of gravity). When the term is used, it is important to know whether mass or force is intended and to use SI Units properly, by using Kilograms for Mass or Newtons for Force. The use of force of gravity (mass times acceleration of gravity) instead of weight with this meaning is recommended. Because of the dual use of the term weight as a quantity, this term should be avoided in technical practice except under circumstances in which its meaning is completely clear.

5. The term load means either mass or force, depending on its use. A load that

produces a vertically downward force because of the influence of gravity acting on a mass may be expressed in mass units. Any other load is expressed in force units.

6. A quantity stated as limits, such as “not more than” or “maximum”, must be

handled so that the stated limit is not violated. 7. Conversion of quantities should be handled with careful regard to the implied

correspondence between the accuracy of the data and the given number of digits. In all conversions, the number of significant digits retained should be such that accuracy is neither sacrificed nor exaggerated. For example, a length of 125 ft converts exactly to 38.1 m. If however, the 125 ft length has been obtained by rounding to the nearest 5 ft, the conversion should be given as 38 m. The proper conversion procedure is to multiply a value by a conversion factor that is more accurate than is required, the result is then rounded to the appropriate number of significant digits.

8. For calculation of results, avoid rounding of intermediate quantities. For

reporting results, the rule for addition and subtraction is that the answer shall contain no significant digits farther to the right than occur in the least precise number. The rule for multiplication and division is that the product or quotient

vii

shall contain no more significant digits than are contained in the number with the fewest significant digits used in the multiplication.

9. When a figure is to be rounded to fewer digits than the total number available,

the standard “5” up procedures should be used as follows: (a) When the first digit discarded is less than 5, the last digit retained

should not be changed. For example, 3.46325, if rounded to three digits, would be 3.463; if rounded to two digits, would be 3.46.

(b) When the first digit discarded is 5 or greater, the last digit retained

should be increased by one unit. For example, 8.37652, if rounded to three digits, would be 8.377; if rounded to two digits would be 8.38.

10. Refer to ASTM SI 10 American National Standard for Use of the International

System of Units (SI) for other conversion factors. 11. This specification book uses the word “shall” to describe the Contractor’s

responsibilities. The word “will” is used to describe the Department’s responsibilities. The words “shall” and “will” are not required to be followed by the words “by the Contractor” or “by the Department” to retain these meanings.
