Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Bernd Runge

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Robin Salmon (X) (asker) Apr 9, 2010:
Thanks, guys. I had a vague memory about Q (or maybe just from a James Bond movie) but it is hot and humid here and I am eight hours further into my Friday than both of you!
Thanks again.
Roy OConnor (X) Apr 9, 2010:
Just leave it as it is It is a flow rate in litres per hour, as Bernd says. Q is just the symbol used.
Bernd Runge Apr 9, 2010:
Förderstrom / Quantity in Liter pro Stunde.

Q [l/h]

You don't want to translate this. Q is the unit symbol for a flow rate. l/h means liter per hour. In other words: This stands for "flow rate in liter per hour".

Q [l/h]

Q = pump capacity, and is measured here in litres per hour

No idea what MS1B108 might be

Q [L/h]

Would be nice if liters are abbreviated as "L", capital ell.
Peer comment(s):

disagree philgoddard : No - small "l" is the usual abbreviation.

neutral Cilian O'Tuama : admittedly, both are possible nowadays, but does this really merit a separate entry? But it's all merely a game, not to be taken seriously.
