Related units include the picul, equal to 100 catties, and the tael, which is 1 ⁄ 16 of a catty. A stone is a former unit used in Hong Kong equal to 120 catties and a gwan ( 鈞 ) is 30 catties. Catty or kati is still used in Southeast Asia as a unit of measurement in some contexts especially by the significant Overseas Chinese populations ...
Taiwan, like Korea, saw its traditional units standardized to Japanese values and their conversion to a metric basis, such as the Taiwanese ping of about 3.306 m 2 based on the square ken. The Hong Kong SAR continues to use its traditional units, now legally defined based on a local equation with metric units.
In imperial China and later, the unit was used for a measure equivalent to 100 catties. [8] In 1831, the Dutch East Indies authorities acknowledged local variances in the definition of the pikul. [9] In Hong Kong, one picul was defined in Ordinance No. 22 of 1844 as 133 + 1 ⁄ 3 avoirdupois pounds. [5] The modern definition is exactly 60. ...
The contribution of the muscle to the specific heat of the body is approximately 47%, and the contribution of the fat and skin is approximately 24%. The specific heat of tissues range from ~0.7 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for tooth (enamel) to 4.2 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for eye (sclera). [13]

At 20 °C and 101.325 kPa, dry air has a density of 1.2041 kg/m 3. At 70 °F and 14.696 psi, dry air has a density of 0.074887 lb/ft 3. The following table illustrates the air density–temperature relationship at 1 atm or 101.325 kPa: [citation needed]
One pikol (or one pecul) was equal to 61.761 3025 kg by its legal definition. [2] Some other units and their legal equivalents are given below: 1 thail = 1 ⁄ 1600 pikol 1 catti = 1 ⁄ 100 pikol 1 kabi = 1 ⁄ 100 pikol 1 kulack = 0.0725 pikol 1 amat = 2 pikol 1 small bahar = 3 pikol 1 large bahar = 4.5 pikol 1 timbang = 5 pikol
If a gaseous emission sample is analyzed and found to contain water vapor and a pollutant concentration of say 40 ppmv, then 40 ppmv should be designated as the "wet basis" pollutant concentration. The following equation can be used to correct the measured "wet basis" concentration to a " dry basis " concentration: [ 3 ]
