Full Description

Purpose

The purpose of this recommended practice is to aid in the selection of metric units so as to promote uniformity in the use of metric units and to limit the number of different metric units that will be used in electrical and electronics science and technology. ANSI/IEEE Std 268-1982, American National Standard Metric Practice, prescribes how metric units are to be used and gives guidance concerning correct metric practice.

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Superseded.Recommendations are made to aid in the selection of metric units, so as to promote uniformity in the use of metric units and to limit the number of different metric units that will be used in electrical and electronics science and technology. The recommendations can cover units for space and time, periodic and related phenomena, mechanics, heat, electricity and magnetism, light and related electromagnetic radiations, and acoustics. This document does not cover how metric units are to be used nor does it offer guidance concerning correct metric practice.
