F-1 Basic Units of Measurement
BASIC UNITS OF MEASUREMENT (40 pages with 20 illustrations, drawings and photographs) This manual provides procedures to determine length, area, volume, weight, density, relative density, API gravity, temperature, pressure, viscosity, velocity, acceleration, and force in the appropriate measurement units. Both Metric and English units of measurement are used so students can work in units with which they are familiar.
Covered Subjects:
- History of measurement
- Writing long numbers and use of powers of 10
- Units of length
- Determining area and volume of geometrical figures
- Units of weight and volume
- Use of hydrometers for measuring relative density and API gravity
- The method for determining gas density
- Types of thermometers and units of temperature measurement
- Pressure measurement devices and explanation of internal pressure, vacuum, absolute pressure and Liquid head pressure
- Viscosity measurement
- Velocity, acceleration, and force
- Surface tension and interfacial tension
Questions and problems are included throughout the training manual with the answers in the back.
Estimated self-study time: 8 hours
