`Terms ending isiiy 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 areconductance and transmittance. Terms ending ion 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.
