ASHRAE F37-2009 (SI)

This chapter contains information about abbreviations and symbols for heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, and refrigerating (HVACR) engineers. Abbreviations are shortened forms of names and expressions used in text, drawings, and computer programs. This chapter discusses conventional English-language abbreviations that may be different in other languages. A letter symbol represents a quantity or a unit, not its name, and is independent of language. Because of this, use of a letter symbol is preferred over abbreviations for unit or quantity terms. Letter symbols necessary for individual chapters are defined in the chapters where they occur.
