This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 869 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mankind has a fascination with measurement. Down the centuries we have produced a plethora of incompatible and duplicatory systems for measuring everything from the width of an Egyptian pyramid to the concentration of radioactivity near a nuclear reactor and the value of the fine structure constant. With the introduction first of the metric system and of its successor the Système International d'Unités (SI), the scientific community has established a standard method of measurement based on only seven core units. The Encyclopaedia of Scientific Units, Weights and Measures converts the huge variety of units from all over the world in every period of recorded history into units of the SI. Featuring: - An A - Z of conversion tables for over 10,000 units of measurements. - Tables of the fundamental constants of nature with their units. - Listings of professional societies, and national standardization bodies for easy reference. - An extensive bibliography detailing further reading on the multifarious aspects of measurement and its units. This huge work is simply a "must have" for any reference library frequented by scientists of any discipline or by those with historical interests in units of measurement such as archaeologists.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The International Metric System of Weights and Measures The following was prepared to answer some of the more simple questions addressed to the Bureau of Standards in regard to the metric system of weights and measures and its use. The essential features of the system were embodied m a report made to the French National Assembly by the Academy of Sciences in 1791; A number of other nations were invited to cooperate with F rance in establishing the new system, and Holland, Denmark, Switzerland, Spain, and several minor States were represented on an international commission which met in Paris 'in 1799 to accept the metric standards constructed under the direction of the French Institute. Although the metric system very soon attracted the favorable attention of other nations, it was not until forty years later that its use became general in France. Since 1840, however, its use has rapidly spread until at the present time it is either obligatory or permissive in every civilized country in the world. Its -use was made lawful throughout the United States by act of Congress in 1866, and at the same time provision was made to supply every State in the Union with a set of metric weights and measures.
