3 General
3.1 All units used for pressure equipment shall be derived from the base units of the international system of
Units (SI) in accordance with ISO 80000.1, ISO 80000-2. ISO 80000-3, ISO 80000-4. ISO 80000-5, and
ISO 80000-11 unless otherwise prescribed in the European Directive 97/23/EC.
3.2 The choice of the appropriate multiple (decimal multiple or sub-multiple) of unit is governed by convenience, the multiple chosen for a particular application being one which would lead to numerical values within a practical range. Therefore when indicating quantities it is recommended to choose decimal multiple or sub multiple quantities such that the resulting values are easy to handle, e.g. between 0.1 and 1 000.
4 Quantities, symbols and units
Symbols and units for the quantities used in pressure equipment shall be in accordance with Tables 1 and 2, otherwise according to ISO 80000 series for other quantities and in particular ISO 80000-5 for thermodynamic quantities.EN 764-2-2012 pdf download.
