UNIT CONVERSIONS & FORMULAS
Measurement Conversion Example
1 in = 25.4 mm 12 in x 25.4 = 304.8 mm
1 in = .0254 m 120 in x .0254 = 3.05 m
1 ft = .3048 m 12 ft x .3048 = 3.68 m
1 mm = .0394 in 100 mm x .0394 = 3.94 in
1 m = 39.37 in 10 m x 39.37 = 393.7 in
1 m = 3.281 ft 10 m x 3.281 = 32.81 ft
1 gal = 3.785 l 10 gal x 3.785 = 37.85 l
1 L = .2642 gal 100 L x 26.42 = 26.42 gal
1 lb. = .454 kg 10 lb x .454 = 4.54 kg
1 kg = 2.205 lb 10 kg x 2.205 = 22.05 lb
1 psi = .06895 bar 40,000 psi x .06895 = 2758 bar
1 bar = 14.503 psi 2758 bar x 14.503 = 40,000 psi
1 gpm = 3.785 lpm 30 gpm x 3.785 = 113.55 lpm
1 lpm = .2642 gpm 100 lpm x .264 = 26.42 gpm
1 lb = 4.448 N 100 lb x 4.448 = 444.8 N
1 N = .2248 lb 900 N x .2248 = 202.32 lb
1 lb-ft = 1.3567 N-m 100 lb-ft x 1.3567 = 135.67 N-m
1 N-m = .737 lb-ft 100 N-m x .737 = 73.7 lb-ft
1 hp = .7457 kW 50 hp x .7457 = 37.29 kW
1 kW = 1.341 hp 50 kW x 1.341 = 67.05 hp
