Frequently Asked Questions
When should I round a measurement?
Carry the measured values and conversion factors through the calculation first. Round the final result to a precision justified by the original measurements.
Why can a supplier’s quantity differ?
Measurement conventions, nominal sizes, density assumptions and purchase rounding can change a practical quantity. Compare the units and assumptions before comparing the numbers.
