Minimum Capacity (Identification)

Definition:

Observations:

1. The minimum capacity of an object corresponds to the lowest point in its range of action. This may be power, voltage, pressure, extension, electrical charge, volume, etc.
2. This field is used in conjunction with the Capacity Measurement Unit and Maximum Capacity fields.

Entry rules:

1. Enter the minimum capacity in real numbers.
   Example

   A barometer that can measure atmospheric pressure of between 80 and 110 kilopascals

   	Object Name	barometer
   	Capacity Measurement Unit	kPa
   	Minimum Capacity	80
   	Maximum Capacity	110

2. If the range of action of the object begins at 0, enter "0".
3. If the value is negative, enter a minus sign "-" before the value.
   Example

   A thermometer with a measurement capacity of -40 to 50 degrees Celsius.

   	Object Name	thermometer
   	Capacity Measurement Unit	°C
   	Minimum Capacity	-40
   	Maximum Capacity	50

4. If you are unsure whether your information is correct, include a space and a question mark after the value.
5. This field may not contain more than one entry.
