SECTION 01 03 00

METRIC MEASUREMENTS

PART 1 GENERAL

1.01 REFERENCES

A. The publications listed below form a part of this Specification to the extent referenced. The publications are referred to in the text by basic designation only:

1. ASTM SI 10-10 American National Standard for Metric Practice.

1.02 GENERAL

A. This Project includes metric units of measurements. The metric units used are the International System of Units (SI) developed and maintained by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM); the name International System of Units and the international abbreviation SI were adopted by the 11th CGPM in 1960. In some cases both metric SI units and English inch-pound (I-P) units are included in a section of the specifications;

the measurements used in any particular case have been determined by the circumstances involved. Specifications requiring metric measurements may contain requirements for equipment (e.g., printers, HVAC systems) described in I-P units; in which case no metric substitution will be allowed. Specifications requiring metric measurements may include references to related non-metric industry and/or Government standards in which case the requirements of the standard govern.

1.03 USE OF MEASUREMENTS

A. Measurements shall be either in SI or I-P units as indicated, except for soft metric measurements or as otherwise authorized. The Contractor shall be responsible for all associated labor and materials when authorized to substitute one system of units for another and for the final assembly and performance of the specified work and/or products.

B. Hard Metric: A hard metric measurement is indicated by an SI value with no expressed correlation to an I-P value (e.g., 38 mm). Hard metric measurements are often used for field data such as distance from one point to another or distance above the floor. Products are considered to be hard metric when they are manufactured to metric dimensions or have an industry recognized metric designation.

C. Soft Metric: A soft metric measurement is indicated by an SI value which is a mathematical approximate of the I-P value shown in parentheses (e.g., 38.1mm (1-1/2 inches)). Soft metric measurements are used for

METRIC MEASUREMENTS 01 03 00 - 1

measurements pertaining to products, test values, and other situations where the I-P units are the standard for manufacture, verification, or other controlling factor. The I-P value shall govern while the metric measurement is provided for information.

D. Neutral: A neutral measurement is indicated by an identifier which has no expressed relation to either an SI or an I-P value (e.g., American Wire Gage (AWG) which indicates thickness but in itself is neither SI nor I-P).

1.04 COORDINATION

A. Discrepancies, such as mismatches or product unavailability, arising from use of both metric and nonmetric measurements and discrepancies between the measurements in the specifications and the measurements in the Drawings shall be brought to the attention of the Contracting Officer or Designated Representative for resolution.

1.05 RELATIONSHIP TO SUBMITTALS

A. Submittals for Government approval or for information only shall cover the SI or I-P products actually being furnished for the Project. The Contractor shall submit the required drawings and calculations in the same units used in the Contract Documents describing the product or requirement unless otherwise instructed or approved. The Contractor shall use ASTM SI 10-10 as the basis for establishing metric measurements required to be used in submittals.
