ISO 31-1 is the part of international standard ISO 31 that defines names and symbols for quantities and units related to space and time. Its definitions include: | Quantity | Unit | Remarks | | Name | Symbol | Name | Symbol | Definition | angle, (plane angle) | α, β, γ, θ, φ | radian | rad | 1 rad = 1 m/m = 1 | | | degree | ° | 1° = π/180 rad | There is no space between the number and these superscript-style unit symbols. Decimal subdivision of degrees is preferable (i.e., 12.5° instead of 12°30′) | | arcminute | ′ | 1′ = (1/60)° | | arcsecond | ″ | 1″ = (1/60)′ | | solid angle | Ω | steradian | sr | 1 sr = 1 m²/m² = 1 | | | length | l, L | metre | m | The metre is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second; see speed of light | | | breadth | b | | height | h | | thickness | d, δ | | radius | r, R | | diameter | d, D | | length of path | s | | distance | d, r | | cartesian coordinates | x, y, z | | radius of curvature | ϱ | | curvature | ϰ | reciprocal metre | m−1 | | ϰ=1/ϱ | | area | A | square metre | m² | | The units are (1 a = 100 m²) and hectare (1 ha = 100 a) are used for agrarian areas. | | volume | V | cubic metre | m³ | | | | litre | l, L | 1 l = 1 dm³ | | | time, time interval, duration | t | second | s | The second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom | Representations of time of day are defined in ISO 8601. | | minute | min | 1 min = 60 s | | hour | h | 1 h = 60 min = 3 600 s | | day | d | 1 d = 24 h = 86 400 s | | angular velocity | ω | radian per second | rad/s | | ω=dφ/dt | | angular acceleration | α | radian per second squared | rad/s² | | α=dω/dt | | velocity | v (general symbol), c (propagation speed of waves), u, v, w (vector components of a velocity c) | metre per second | m/s | | | | acceleration | a | metre per second squared | m/s² | | | | acceleration of free fall, acceleration due to gravity | g | Annex A of ISO 31-1 lists units of space and time based on the foot, pound and second. Annex B lists some other non-SI units of space and time, namely the gon, light year, astronomical unit, parsec, tropical year, and gal. | ISO Standards | | Lists: List of ISO standards · List of ISO romanizations · List of IEC standards Categories: Category:ISO standards · Category:OSI protocols | | | 1-9k | 1 · 2 · 3 · 4 · 9 · 31 ( -0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9, -10, -11, -12, -13) · 128 · 216 · 217 · 226 · 228 · 233 · 259 · 269 · 302 · 306 · 428 · 639 · 639-1 · 639-2 · 639-3 · 639-5 · 639-6 · 646 · 690 · 732 · 746 · 843 · 1000 · 1007 · 1073-1 · 1413 · 1745 · 2014 · 2015 · 2022 · 2108 · 2145 · 2281 · 2709 · 2711 · 2788 · 3029 · 3103 · 3166 · 3166-1 · 3166-2 · 3166-3 · 3307 · 3602 · 3864 · 3901 · 3977 · 4031 · 4157 · 4217 · 5218 · 5775 · 5776 · 5964 · 6166 · 6344 · 6346 · 6425 · 6429 · 6438 · 6523 · 6709 · 7001 · 7002 · 7098 · 7185 · 7498 · 7736 · 7810 · 7811 · 7812 · 7813 · 7816 · 8000 · 8217 · 8571 · 8583 · 8601 · 8632 · 8652 · 8807 · 8820-5 · 8859 ( -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9, -10, -11, -12, -13, -14, -15, -16) · 9000 · 9075 · 9126 · 9241 · 9362 · 9407 · 9506 · 9529 · 9594 · 9660 · 9897 · 9945 · 9984 · 9985 · 9995 | | | 10k- | | | | See also: All articles beginning with "ISO" | | |
