Factors For Unit Conversions: CHEE 201: Summer 2020

1. The document lists common unit conversion factors for mass, length, volume, force, pressure, energy, and power. It also provides the gravitational acceleration. 2. Mass conversions include 1 kg = 1000 g, 1 lbm = 453.6 g, and 1 oz = 28.35 g. Length conversions include 1 m = 100 cm, 1 ft = 30.48 cm. Volume conversions include 1 L = 1000 mL and 1 ft3 = 28,317 mL. 3. Force conversions include 1 N = 0.225 lbf. Pressure conversions include 1 atm = 101,325 Pa. Energy conversions include 1 J = 1 N⋅m and 1 cal = 4.184

FACTORS FOR UNIT CONVERSIONS

1 kg = 1,000 g = 0.001 metric ton (tonne) = 2.20462 lbm = 35.27392 oz


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

1 m = 100 cm = 1,000 mm = 106 microns (µm) = 1010 angstroms (Å)


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

1 m3 = 1,000 L = 106 cm3 = 106 mL


= 35.3145 ft3 = 220.83 imperial gallons = 264.17 gal = 1,056.68 qt
Volume
1 ft3 = 1,728 in3 = 7.4805 gallons = 0.028317 m3 = 28.317 L
= 28,317 cm3 = 0.17811 barrels (BBL)

1 N = 1 kg∙m/s2 = 105 dynes = 105 g∙cm/s2 = 0.22481 lbf


Force
1 lbf = 32.174 lbm∙ft/s2 = 4.4482 N = 4.4482 x 105 dynes

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


= 1.01325 x 106 dynes/cm2
Pressure = 760 mm Hg at 0° C (torr) = 10.333 m H20 at 4° C
= 14.696 lbf/in2 (psi) = 33.9 ft H20 at 4° C
= 29.921 in Hg at 0° C

1 J = 1 N∙m = 107 ergs = 107 dyne∙cm


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

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


Power
= 1.341 x 10-3 hp

Gravitational Acceleration: g = 9.81 m/s2 = 32.174 ft/s = 981 cm/s2
