The coal groups are then further subdivided into subgroups according to their coking properties (which may actually appear to be a paradox since the coking properties are actually a measure of how coal behaves when it is heated slowly). 

Briefly, coking coal is a hard coal with a quality that allows the production of coke suitable to support a blast furnace charge. On the other hand, steam coal is all other hard coal not classified as coking coal. Also included are recovered slurries, middlings, and other low-grade coal products not further classified by type. Coal of this quality is also commonly known as thermal coal. 

The system has been conveniently applied to various North American coals (Table 2.13) and can adequately express the character of these coals in terms of the three-digit code number. 

Brown coals, like the hard coals, are also defined in terms of their calorific value (see the previous text) and were also recognized as potential fuels. The International System for the classification of brown coals is based on two inherent characteristics which indicate the value of brown coals as fuels (1) the total moisture (ash-free basis) and (2) the yield of tar (daf basis). Thus, the six classes of brown coal based on the ash-free, equilibrium moisture content are divided into groups according to the yield of tar on a dry, ash-free basis (Table 2.14). This system indicates

Basic Standards for Chemical Technology. There are many numerical values that are standards ia chemical technology. A brief review of a few basic and general ones is given hereia. Numerical data and definitions quoted are taken from References 16—19 (see Units and conversion factors) and are expressed ia the International System of Units (SI). A comprehensive guide for the appHcation of SI has been pubUshed by ASTM (20). 

Time. The unit of time in the International System of units is the second "the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the fundamental state of the atom of cesium-133" (25). This definition is experimentally indistinguishable from the ephemetis-second which is based on the earth s motion.

Pressure is defined as force per unit of area. The International System of Units (SI) pressure unit is the pascal (Pa), defined as 1.0 N /m. Conversion factors from non-SI units to pascal are given in Table 1 (see also Units and conversion factors front matter). An asterisk after the sixth decimal place indicates that the conversion factor is exact and all subsequent digits are 2ero. Relationships that are not followed by an asterisk are either the results of physical measurements or are only approximate. The factors are written as numbers greater than 1 and less than 10, with 6 or fewer decimal places (1). 

In 1954, the 10th CGPM added the degree Kelvin as the unit of temperature and the candela as the unit of luminous intensity. At the time of the 11th CGPM in 1960, this new system with six base units was formalized with the tide International System of Units. Its abbreviation in all languages is SI, from the French l e Sjstume International d Unitus.

Ha.rd Coa.1, The amount of coal in international commerce since ca 1945 necessitated an international system of coal classification and in 1956 the Coal Committee of the European Economic Community agreed on a system designated the International Classification of Hard Coal by Type (3). Volatile matter and gross calorific value on a moist, ash-free basis are among the parameters considered. Table 4 shows the various classes of the international system and gives the corresponding national names used for these coals.

The principles outlined in the standard can be applied to any creative activity and while the standard primarily addresses the design of automotive products for onward sale to customers, the principles can be applied to internal systems such as an information technology system, an inventory control system, and even the quality system. 

Flexible cord approved for extra-hard service, flexible metal conduit, and liquidtight flexible conduit for limited flexibility. A suitable grounding conductor must be provided inside the flexible cord s outer jacket. Flexible conduit must be bonded with an external jumper or an approved internal system jumper external bonding jumpers are disallowed for flexible conduit exceeding six feet. Typical liquidtight and flexible cord connectors and an explosion-proof flexible connection are shown in Figure 17-23. 

From Eq. (6-1) it is evident that A has the units of k and that E has the units energy per mole. For many decades the usual units of E were kilocalories per mole, but in the International System of Units (SI) E should be expressed in kilojoules per mole (1 kJ = 4.184 kcal). In order to interpret the extant and future kinetic literature, it is essential to be able to use both of these forms.

As you can see from this discussion, a wide number of different units can be used to express measured quantities in the metric system. Ibis proliferation of units has long been of concern to scientists. In 1960 a self-consistent set of metric units was proposed. This so-called International System of Units (SI) is discussed in Appendix 1. The SI units for the four quantities discussed are... 

In the International System (Appendix 1), the standard unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa).
