6、mechanical properties of refractory materials byestablishing uniform presentation of data.3.2 Units have been chosen,where possible,to result innumbers of magnitude familiar in the refractories industry,thatis,g/cm3rather than the SI preferred unit kg/m3.It isrecommended that SI prefixes be selected
7、 for use with the unitssuch that the resulting numerical values lie between 0.1 and1000.For most properties,the prefixes kilo(k)and mega(M)are preferred.Other prefixes are given in the following table:MultiplicationFactorPrefixSymbol109gigaG106megaM103kilok102hectoAh101dekaAda101deciAd102centiAc103m
