BLMS... dislike the name, like the guy

I'll keep the derailment going...... The kJ/kg and water consumption are familiar, what kind of work do you do? I'm an HVAC engineer, and use those a lot in calculations.

Water consumption in tonnes? That's so weird to me. Why not kiloliters? Or kilolitre (however you spell it)?

Anyway, my company designs and operates energy-from-waste (EfW) power plants. Kj/kg (or rather BTU/pound) is how we measure the energy potential of garbage.

so whenever I go anywhere and they ask my height, I know it in inches, and they want it in centimetres.

Come to America, inches and feet are all we know!

A litre of water is 1kg. One CC of water is one gramme.

Man! Remember how you guys made me order something from Lawrence back on page 5 or 6? Well the stuff arrived today! I wasn't expecting it for at least a week longer...

3 day express every time. I load up on stuff and take full advantage of it.

Yeah but you guys are on the same side of the pond. I'm halfway around the world.

Ah, so a tonne of water is the same as a kiloliter of water. Got it.

Well, I didn't mean the 'tonnes' stuff, that's just weird! but the whole water consumption/content is familiar. We use the kJ/kg to calculate the amount of heating/cooling that can be transferred by a certain amount of air/water/whatever. What might be of interest to you is that the project I've been working on the last year and a half was a 50 MW bio energy plant. Not the actual energy producing part, but a lot of auxiliary processes. Back to the original derailment!

@alanp: a metric tonne of water is indeed a kiloliter, aka a cubic meter, 1000 liters or 10⁹ cc's

units are a wonderfull thing......

I wish we used the Metric system here in 'Murica. It's especially ironic that both measurements are used in PCB layouts. .100" and 2.54mm.   Since it's only 2 dec places, extrapolating multiples of this number always ends slightly off.  I started by using mm doing layouts, now I use inches. If I have to make a footprint for a new part it's usually in mm. What a bunch of crap!  A system based on 10 is so much easier.

Oh and I just got a box from mouser with a sack of Neutrik 1/4" jacks and the nuts and washers were in separate bags...  No big deal to me. You got to take them off anyways to install them.

I think it depends of the domain of work or application that you're in... to use either one of the two systems...

For precision stuff or that is in a small scale, metric wins it all the way, for me.

But for construction in general, domestic or industrial. For metal working too, structure and welding jobs... SAE is king.

I also put one in at that moment... and another one yesterday..

Got the one with knobs (all assembled) today..with the stickers!
