Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is fuel oil equivalent @kiloliter?
-
It is a volumetric energy unit representing the energy released by burning 1 kiloliter of a reference fuel oil, used for comparing fuel energy content.
-
What does kilogram-force meter measure?
-
It measures energy or work as the force of one kilogram-force applied over one meter displacement, traditionally used before SI units became standard.
