    Appendix A

    Conversion Factors and Values


    of the Gas Constant

    Because standard reference books contain data in diverse units, we include Tables A.1 and
    A.2 to aid in 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)=≡ U.S. defined foot ≡ 0.3048 m


    (in)=≡ U.S. defined inch ≡ 0.0254 m
    (gal)=≡ U.S. liquid gallon ≡ 231 (in)3
    (lbm)=≡ U.S. defined pound mass (avoirdupois)
    =≡ 0.45359237 kg
    (lbf)=≡ force to accelerate 1(lbm) by 32.1740 (ft)·s−2
    (atm)=≡ standard atmospheric pressure ≡ 101,325 Pa
    (psia)=≡ pounds force per square inch absolute pressure
    (torr)=≡ pressure exerted by 1 mm mercury at 0°C and standard gravity
    (cal)=≡ thermochemical calorie
    (Btu)=≡ international steam table British thermal unit
    (lb mole)=≡ mass in pounds mass with numerical value equal to the molar mass
    (R)=≡ 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 = 0.986923 (atm) = 750.061 (torr)​
    thus
    750.061
    1 (atm) = ​_________
    ​    
     ​  
    = 760.00 (torr)​
    0.986923
