The values stated in either SI units or inch/pound units are regarded as standard. Within the text, the inch/pound units are shown in parentheses and in separate tables (except for Tables 12 and 17, which do not contain measurement values). The values stated in each system of measurement are not exact equivalents; each system is to be used independently of the other.
