    SI UNITS

    The 2001 Edition of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code is based on U.S. Customary (ft-lb) units of measurement which are to be regarded as the standard. This supplement is provided as a convenience to the Code user and contains SI conversion factors for units contained in the Code.

    NOTES: (1) Conversion factors between SI units and U.S. customary are given in SI-1, ASME Orientation and Guide for Use of SI (Metric) Units, and ASTM E 380. (2) Preferred use for temperature and temperature interval is degrees Celsius (C), except for thermodynamic and cryogenic work where kelvins may be more suitable. For temperature interval, 1 K p 1C exactly.

    NOTES: (1) Care should be taken when converting formulas or equations that contain constant terms or factors. The value of these terms must be understood and may also require conversion. (2)(a) Relationships that are exact in terms of the base units are followed by a single asterisk. (b) The factors are written as a number greater than 1 and less than 10 with 6 or less decimal places. The number is followed by the letter E (for exponent), a plus or minus symbol, and two digits which indicate the power of 10 by which the number must be multiplied to obtain the correct value. For example: 3.523 907 E02 is 3.523 907 102 or 0.035 239 07. (3) International Table
