SI base unit SI base unit The International System of Units (SI) defines seven units of measure as a basic set from which all other SI units can be derived. The SI base units and their physical quantities are the meter for measurement of length, the kilogram for mass, the second for time, the ampere for electric current, the kelvin for temperature, the candela for luminous intensity, and the mole for amount of substance. The SI base units form a set of mutually independent dimensions as required by dimensional analysis commonly employed in science and technology. The names and symbols of SI base
Epoxy the ratio of the amount of substance of epoxide groups, "n"(EP), and the mass "m"(B) of the material B, with the SI unit "mol/kg", or the so-called "epoxide equivalent weight", which is the ratio of the mass of a sample B of the resin and the amount of substance of epoxide groups present in that sample B, with the SI unit "kg/mol". The so-called "epoxide equivalent weight" is simply the inverse of the so-called "epoxide number". The specific amount of substance of epoxide groups is used to calculate the mass of co-reactant (hardener) to use when curing epoxy resins. Epoxies
