FACTORS FOR UNIT CONVERSIONS

Quantity

Equivalent Values

Mass

1 kg
1 lbm

= 1000 g = 0.001 metric ton = 2.20462 lbm = 35.27392 oz


= 16 oz = 5 x 10 - 4 ton = 453.593 g = 0.453593 kg

Length

1m

= 100 cm = 1000 mm = 106 microns (m) = 1010 angstroms ( A )


= 39.37 in = 3.2808 ft = 1.0936 yd = 0.0006214 mile
= 12 in = 1/3 yd = 0.3048 m = 30.48 cm

1 ft
Volume

1 m3
1ft3

= 1000 liters = 106 cm3 = 106 ml


= 35.3145 ft3 = 220.83 imperial gallons = 264.17 gal
= 1056.68 qt
= 1728 in3 = 7.4805 gal = 0.028317 m3 = 28.317 liters
= 28 317 cm3
= 1 kg.m/s2 = 105 dynes = 105 g.cm/s2 = 0.22481 lbf
= 32.174 lbm.ft/s2 = 4.4482 N = 4.4482 x 105 dynes

Force

1N
1 lbf

Pressure

1 atm = 1.01325 x 105 N/m2 (Pa) = 101.325 kPa = 1.01325 bars


= 1.01325 x 106 dynes/cm2
= 760 mm Hg at 0C (torr) = 10.333 m H2O at 4C
= 14.696 lbf/in2 (psi) = 33.9 ft H2O at 4C
= 29.921 in Hg at 0C

Energy

1J

= 1 N.m = 107 ergs = 107 dyne.cm


= 2.778 x 10-7 kW.h = 0.23901 cal
= 0.7376 ft-lbf = 9.486 x 10 - 4 Btu

Power

1W

= 1 J/s = 0.23901 cal/s = 0.7376 ft.lbf/s = 9.486 x 10 - 4 Btu/s


= 1.341 x 10 - 3 hp

Temperature T(oF) = 1.8 T(oC) + 32


T(oR) = T( oF) + 459.69
T(oR) = 1.8 T(K)

IDEAL GAS CONSTANT


R

= 8.314 kPa.dm3/mol.K
= 0.082 dm3.atm/mol.K
= 8.314 J/mol.K
= 1.987 cal/mol.K
