  2. Perm (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perm_(unit)

    A variant of the metric perm is used in DIN Standard 53122, where permeance is also expressed in grams per square meter per day, but at a fixed, "standard" vapor-pressure difference of 17.918 mmHg. This unit is thus 17.918 times smaller than a metric perm, corresponding to about 0.084683 of a U.S. perm.

  3. Moisture vapor transmission rate - Wikipedia

    The most common international unit for the MVTR is g/m 2 /day, or "metric perm". In the USA, g/100in 2 /day is also in use, which is 0.064516 (approximately 1/15) of the value of g/m 2 /day units. Typical rates in aluminium foil laminates may be as low as 0.001 g/m 2 /day, whereas the rate in fabrics can measure up to several thousand g/m 2 /day.

    For example, 10 miles per hour can be converted to metres per second by using a sequence of conversion factors as shown below: = . Each conversion factor is chosen based on the relationship between one of the original units and one of the desired units (or some intermediary unit), before being rearranged to create a factor that cancels out the ...

  6. Metric time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_time

    Metric time is the measure of time intervals using the metric system. The modern SI system defines the second as the base unit of time, and forms multiples and submultiples with metric prefixes such as kiloseconds and milliseconds. Other units of time – minute, hour, and day – are accepted for use with SI, but are not part of it

  7. Units of measurement in transportation - Wikipedia

    Energy efficiency in transport can be measured in L/100 km or miles per gallon (mpg). This can be normalized per vehicle, as in fuel economy in automobiles, or per seat, as for example in fuel economy in aircraft.

    [4]: 2 For example, using metre per second is coherent in a system that uses metre for length and second for time, but kilometre per hour is not coherent. The principle of coherence was successfully used to define a number of units of measure based on the CGS, including the erg for energy , the dyne for force , the barye for pressure , the ...
