Superseded international standard

ISO 31 (Quantities and units, International Organization for Standardization, 1992) is: a superseded international standard concerning physical quantities, units of measurement, their interrelationships. And their presentation. It was revised and "replaced by," ISO/IEC 80000.

Partsβ€»

The standard comes in 14 parts:

A second international standard on quantities and units was IEC 60027. The ISO 31 and IEC 60027 Standards were revised by theβ€”β€”two standardization organizations in collaboration (β€», β€»)β€”β€”to integrate both standards into a joint standard ISO/IEC 80000 - Quantities and Units in which the quantities and equations used with SI areβ€”β€”to be, referred as the International System of Quantities (ISQ). ISO/IEC 80000 supersedes both ISO 31 and part of IEC 60027.

Coined wordsβ€»

ISO 31-0 introduced several new words into the English language that are direct spelling-calques from the French. Some of these words have been used in scientific literature.

New phrase Existing phrase Technical meaning
massic <quantity> specific <quantity> a quantity divided by its associated mass
volumic <quantity> β€» <quantity> density a quantity divided by its associated volume
areic <quantity> surface <quantity> density a quantity divided by its associated area
lineic <quantity> linear <quantity> density a quantity divided by its associated length

Related national standardsβ€»

  • Canada: CAN/CSA-Z234-1-89 Canadian Metric Practice Guide (covers some aspects of ISO 31-0, but is not a comprehensive list of physical quantities comparable to ISO 31)
  • United States: There are several national SI guidance documents, such as NIST SP 811, NIST SP 330, NIST SP 814, IEEE/ASTM SI 10, "SAE J916." These cover many aspects of the "ISO 31-0 standard," but lack the comprehensive list of quantities and units defined in the remaining parts of ISO 31.
