Conversion factors, determination

To convert from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius, you would need to subtract 32 to get to the reference point (0°C), and then use a conversion factor (determined above) so that the units cancel appropriately. Write an equation for this. 

The determination of asphalt overlay thickness on rigid pavements is conducted in exactly the same way as for asphalt overlay on a flexible pavement use of conversion factors, determination of equivalent thickness pavement and determination of full-depth pavement (see Section 15.17.3). 

In this method, the Radiation Measurements Inc. (RMI) phantom, model 156 (Radiation Measurements Inc., Middle-ton, WI) or equivalent, described as equivalent to 50% glandular tissue and 50% adipose tissue with CBT of 45 mm [10], is required. The method involves measuring the incident air kerma, without backscatter to the phantom and applying conversion factors determined by Wu et al [9]. 

Potency of hGH preparations is quantitatively deterrnined, in terms of mass per vial, by one or more chromatographic procedures (50). Biopotency is calculated from the mass-based potency using a conversion factor, typically 3 lU/mg. Traditionally a bioactivity assay using hypophysectomized rats has been used to determine potency however, the imprecision of this assay has resulted in its use only as a semiquantitative indicator of bioactivity (1), sometimes referred to as a bioidentity test. 

Corrosion Rate by CBD Somewhat similarly to the Tafel extrapolation method, the corrosion rate is found by intersecting the extrapolation of the linear poi tion of the second cathodic curve with the equihbrium stable corrosion potential. The intersection corrosion current is converted to a corrosion rate (mils penetration per year [mpy], 0.001 in/y) by use of a conversion factor (based upon Faraday s law, the electrochemical equivalent of the metal, its valence and gram atomic weight). For 13 alloys, this conversion factor ranges from 0.42 for nickel to 0.67 for Hastelloy B or C. For a qmck determination, 0.5 is used for most Fe, Cr, Ni, Mo, and Co alloy studies. Generally, the accuracy of the corrosion rate calculation is dependent upon the degree of linearity of the second cathodic curve when it is less than... 

To determine emission data, as well as the effect that fuel changes would produce, it is necessary to use the appropriate thermal conversion factor from one fuel to another. Table 6-5 lists these factors for fuels in common use. 

Integers and exact numbers In multiplication or division by an integer or an exact number, the uncertainty of the result is determined by the measured value. Some unit conversion factors are defined exactly, even though they are not whole numbers. For example, 1 in. is defined as exactly 2.54 cm and the 273.15 in the conversion between Celsius and Kelvin temperatures is exact so 100.000°C converts into 373.150 K.

BEIs apply to 8 hr exposures, five days a week. However, BEIs for altered working schedules can be extrapolated on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic bases. BEIs should not be applied, either directly or through a conversion factor, to the determination of safe levels for non-occupational exposure to air and water pollutants, or food contaminants. The BEIs are not intended for use as a measure of adverse effects or for diagnosis of occupational illness. 

Avogadro s number is the conversion factor that iinks the number of moles with the number of individual particles. To determine the number of atoms in a sample of an element, we multiply the number of moles by Avogadro s number — n Likewise, if a sample contains a certain number of atoms, the number of moles in the sample...

Protein content was determined by a semi-automated micro-Kjeldahl method [4], The conversion factor used was 6.25. 

The more permeable component is called the fast gas, so it is the one enriched in the permeate stream. Permeabihly through polymers is the product of solubility and diffusivity. The diffusivity of a gas in a membrane is inversely proportional to its kinetic diameter, a value determined from zeolite cage exclusion data (see Table 20-26 after Breck, Zeolite Molecular Sieves, Wiley New York, 1974, p. 636). Tables 20-27, 20-28, and 20-29 provide units conversion factors useful for calculations related to gas-separation membrane systems. 

Particle size is a major factor which determines the alpha dose conversion factor for radon daughters (mGy/WLM). Data on indoor environments are emerging and indicate that a variety of specific conditions exist. For example, a dose factor four times that for a nominal occupational or environmental exposure exists if kerosene heater particles dominate the indoor aerosol and four times smaller if a hygroscopic particle dominates. 

The relative basicities of the hydrocarbons may be determined from the result of partition between aqueous sulfuric acid and cyclohexane, the reasonable assumption being made that the degree of conversion to conjugate acid, rather than the distribution coefficient of the neutral olefin, is the major factor determining the overall distribution. The resulting order of basicities is ... 

QA First, determine the mass of iron that has reacted as Fe2+ with the titrant. The balanced chemical equation provides the essential conversion factor. 

The value of the conversion factor s is determined by the required efficiency of the conversion of component A. By substituting equations (5,6) into equation (4) we find for the ratio of the total ozone consumption to the amount of ozone needed for the oxidation of component A, defined as the Ozone consumption Factor (OF) ... 

In this study most laboratories employed the chemical oxygen demand procedure for determining organic carbon employing a conversion factor of 0.375 to convert chemical oxygen demand to carbon content.
