Volume rate ratio (vol.rate ratio)

Abbreviation

 Vol.rate ratio

Definition in words

Volume rate ratio of component B in system 1

(The volume rate of component F divided by volume of component G in system 1)

Definition by equation

Note 1: Component B is the quotient of component F and component G

Note 2: Component F ≠ Component G (≠ = “not equal to”)

Note 3: Component F ∉ Component G (∉ = “is not an element of”)

Result type

 Rational scale
  • Value sets are positive numerical values (a=nb; a≠nb)
  • Algebraic operations are allowed
 Numerical values from 0-∞

Unit

 10-6, 10-3, 1 (one), 103, 106, etc.

Special rule(s) in the NPU syntax

Component B is epressed as: “Component F/Component G,” using “/” as a symbol for division

The unit “1” (one) is ommited in the NPU syntax.
