Appendix A

Conversion Factors and


Values of the Gas Constant

Because standard reference books contain data in diverse units, we include Tables A.l and
A.2 to aid the conversion of values from one set of units to another. Those units having no
connection with the SI system are enclosed in parentheses. The following definitions are
noted:

(ft) E U.S. defined foot = 3.048 x lo-' m

(gal) - U.S. liquid gallon E 231(in)~

(in) E U.S. defined inch = 2.54 x lop2 m

(lb,) - U.S. defined pound mass (avoirdupois)

(lbf) - force to accelerate l(lb,) by 32.1740 (ft) sP2

= 4.535 9237 x lo-' kg

atm - standard atmospheric pressure = 101 325 Pa

ton - pressure exerted by 1 mm mercury at 273.15 K (0°C) and standard


gravity
(psia) E pounds force per square inch absolute pressure
(cal) - thermochemical calorie
(Btu) 2 international steam table British thermal unit
(lb mole) E mass in pounds mass with numerical value equal to the molar
mass (R) E absolute temperature in Rankines

The conversion factors of Table A. 1 are referred to a single basic or derived unit of the
SI system. Conversions between other pairs of units for a given quantity are made as in the
following example:
1 bar = 0.986 923 atm = 750.061 torr
thus
750.061
latm = = 760.00 ton:
0.986 923
