The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each systemshall be used independently of the othe

7、r. Combining valuesfrom the two systems may result in nonconformance with thestandard. Common nomenclature for specifying some terms;specifically shielding, uses a combination of metric units andinch-pound units.1.2.4 This standard identifies the special information re-quired by the Manufacturer for

8、 the design of window compo-nents. Table A1.1 shows a sample list of the radiation sourcespectra and geometry information, typically required forshielding analysis. Table A2.1 shows a detailed sample list ofspecific data typically required to determine the physical size,glass types, and viewing char
