Conversion Factors

This document provides conversion factors for various units of measurement related to length, volume, mass, density, force, pressure, temperature, energy, power, velocity and other thermodynamic properties. Some examples of conversions included are 1 m = 3.28084 ft, 1 kg = 2.20462 lbm, 1 Pa = 1 N/m^2, T (°C) = (T(K) - 273.15), 1 J = 1 N-m, and 1 mile/h = 1.467 ft/s. The source is a modified version of conversion factors from the textbook Engineering Thermodynamics.
