  2. 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

  5. Orders of magnitude (time) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(time)

    Metric prefixes are defined spanning 10 −30 to 10 30, 60 decimal orders of magnitude which may be used in conjunction with the metric base unit of second. Metric units of time larger than the second are most commonly seen only in a few scientific contexts such as observational astronomy and materials science, although this depends on the author.

    = 10 parts per million by volume = 10 ppmv = 10 volumes/10 6 volumes NO x molar mass = 46 kg/kmol = 46 g/mol Flow rate of flue gas = 20 cubic metres per minute = 20 m 3 /min The flue gas exits the furnace at 0 °C temperature and 101.325 kPa absolute pressure. The molar volume of a gas at 0 °C temperature and 101.325 kPa is 22.414 m 3 /kmol.

  7. Millisecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millisecond

    A millisecond (from milli-and second; symbol: ms) is a unit of time in the International System of Units equal to one thousandth (0.001 or 10 −3 or 1 / 1000) of a second [1] [2] or 1000 microseconds. A millisecond is to one second, as one second is to approximately 16.67 minutes.

  8. Frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency

    Ordinary frequency is related to angular frequency (symbol ω, with SI unit radian per second) by a factor of 2 π. The period (symbol T) is the interval of time between events, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency: T = 1/f. [2]

  9. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    The millimetre (SI symbol: mm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −3 metres (⁠ 1 / 1 000 ⁠ m = 0.001 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −3 m and 10 −2 m (1 mm and 1 cm). 1.0 mm – 1/1,000 of a meter; 1.0 mm – 0.03937 inches or 5/127 (exactly)
