1、Designation: C 899 79 (Reapproved 2007)Standard Practice forUse of Metric Units of Measure for Reporting Properties ofRefractory Materials1(COMMITTEE C-8 SUPPLEMENT TO E 380)This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 899; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year
2、 oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice presents the units to be employed forrepo

Thus, a darcy is not an SIunit. No permeability units are given in E 380. Until an SI unitof permeability is adopted, expre
