A.2 Using the Table
The quantity in braces { } is selected from the table.

Example 1 To calculate how many meters are in 10 ft, the table provides the
conversion factor as 0.3048 m/ft. Hence multiply 10 ft × {0.3048 m/ft} = 3.048 m
Example 2 Convert thermal conductivity of 10 kcal/h m °C to SI units. Select the
appropriate conversion factor for these units, 10 (kcal/h m °C) × {1.163 (w/m K)/
(kcal/h m °C)} = 11.63 w/m K
