The acceptance of any such additional requirements as shall be dependent on negotiations with the supplier and must be included in the order as agreed upon by the pur chaser and supplier: 1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI Units [metric] are to be regarded separately as standard, Within the text and the tables, the ST units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore each system must be used indepen- dently ofthe other. Combining values from the two systems ray result in nonconformance with the specification. The inch-pound units shall apply unless the “M designation ISI] of the product specification is specified in the order: 2.
