ANSI/IEEE Device Numbers. Protective relays are commonly referred to by standard device numbers. For example, a time overcurrent relay is designated a 51 device, while an instantaneous overcurrent is a 50 device. Multifunction relays have combinations of device numbers. A 27/59 device, for example, is a combination under/over voltage relay.
At 0Â° Celsius the speed of sound in U.S. textbooks is 331.3 m/s. At 20Â° Celsius the speed of sound then is 343.21 m/s, rounded 343 m/s. At 0Â° Celsius, the speed of sound in German textbooks is 331.5 m/s. At 20Â° Celsius the speed of sound then is 343.42 m/s, rounded 343 m/s.
The speed of sound ranges between 1400 and 1570 m/sec (4593 and 5151 ft/sec). This is roughly 1.5 km/sec (just under 1 mile/sec) or about 4 times faster that sound travel through air. The graph below shows how sound speed varies as a function of water depth.
