EQUIVALENT METRIC UNITS FOR

FOR E W 0 R D
0.2 This standard was first issued in 1958. Since the issue of the
standard considerable cxpericnce has been gained with regard to actual
working to the standard during the la st few years. The various Public
Works Departments and orhei concer ned organizations adopted this
standard and difficulties in implementation of certain proposed metric
units were experienced. Thr- Committee has taken note of these and
has issued this revision which in addition to some minor modifications
incorporates an additional item on carriage of rna ter ials for which also
metric units have been suggested.
IS : 965 1963
the numerical value expressing the quantity either in the foot-pound
system or in the metric system will not change much and the quantity
specified can be easily imagined. In many other cases such a direct
conversion into a convenient metric unit is not possible, and consequently the conception of the actual quantity specified takes time to
grasp.
In the preparation of estimates for construction work where
certain units and rates in terms of such units ha ve been established by
tradition, the importance of choosing new units in the metric system
which have a simple and convenient relationship to these units is further
emphasized. The new unit will have a derived rate and the familiarization of this derived rate will be quicker if the relationship between
the former units and the metric units is direct and simple, preferably
in whole numbers.
On account of this close inter-relationship between materials and
quantities of construction work carried out and also in view of the
variety of materials and types of constructional quantities which even
a very simple type of construction involves, the necessity has been felt
to establish, as a first step, equivalent metric units which should be
used for dimensions, scales, quantities. etc, generally met with in the
building field. The proposed equivalen t metric units in place of the
existing units take note of the practices at present being followed in the
metric countries and the units which have become familiar and conversant over a period of their usc.
0.4 This standard has been prepared with the purpose of guiding the
various technical committees under the Building Division Council in
selecting the equivalent metric units for dimensions and quantities
which they come across while preparing standard specifications and
codes of practice. For convenience of reference, a tabulation of basic
metric units in regard to length, area, volume and weight is given in
Appendix A.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard lays down equivalent metric units for the various
dimensional values met with in general construction work and at
present expressed in the foot-pound-second ( fps ) system,
