4Terms ending ivity designate properties independent of size or shape, sometimes called specific proper ties. Examples are--conductivity and resistivity. Terms ending once designate, quantities depending not only on the material, but also upon size and shape, sometimes called total quantities. Examples are-- conductance and transmittance. Terms ending ton designate rate of heat transfer. Examples are--con duction and transmission.

CONVERSION EQUATIONS
Fahrenheit degrees = 9/5 centigrade degrees 32. Centigrade degrees = 5/9 (Fahrenheit degrees -- 32). Absolute temperature, expressed in Fahrenheit degrees = Fahrenheit degrees + 459.6. In heating and ventilating work, 460 is usually used. Absolute temperature, expressed in centigrade degrees = centigrade degrees + 273.1.
