1. General

1.1

The list of conversion factors which is contained in this Attachment is provided to express the definitions of miscellaneous units of measure as numerical multiples of SI units.

1.2

The conversion factors are presented for ready adaptation to computer read-out and electronic data transmission. The factors are written as a number greater than 1 and less than 10 with six or less decimal places. This number is followed by the letter E (for exponent), a plus or minus symbol, and two digits which indicate the power of 10 by which the number must be multiplied to obtain the correct value. For example:

3.523 907 E^-02 is 3.523 907 x 10^-2 or 0.035 239 07

Similarly,

3.386 389 E⁺³ is 3.386 389 x 10³ or 3 386.389

1.3

An asterisk (*) after the sixth decimal place indicates that the conversion factor is exact and that all subsequent digits are zero. Where less than six decimal places are shown, more precision is not warranted.

1.4

Further examples of use of the tables:

To convert from	to	Multiply by
pound-force per square foot	Pa	4.788 026 E⁺⁰¹
inch	m	2.540 000*E^-02
thus:	1 Ibf/ft2 = 47.880 26 Pa
	1 inch = 0.025 4 m (exactly)

2. Factors not listed

2.1

Conversion factors for compound units which are not listed herein can easily be developed from numbers given in the list by the substitution of converted units, as follows.

Example: To find conversion factor of Ib.ft/s to kg.rn/s:

first convert	1 lb to 0.453 592 4 kg
	1 ft to 0.304 8 m
then substitute:	(0.453 592 4 kg) x (0.304 8 m)/s
	= 0.138 255 kg.m/s
Thus the factor is 1.382 55 E-01.
