NEW MEASUREMENT UNITS
For some time technicians have endeavoured
to find an internationally standardized mea-
surement system. In 1960, such a system
was established and was called
SI (Système
I
nternational d'Unites). To a great extent it
i
s
based on the previous system except
that the units are uniform, that is, no con-
versions are required. The
SI
system is now
being applied both in Swedish and European
i
ndustries.

SI
units are inserted 'in this man-
ual.
The old units, however
,
are given in
brackets.
