Unless we're talking past one another, I'll have to disagree. The NIST unit for "mass fraction" is "1" -- even though it's a ratio. A fraction can be represented many ways. "1:2", "1/2", and "0.5" all represent the same fraction, for example. Does the CF convention require a particular representation for a fraction? Regards, Steve Emmerson
