Unit conversion

The conversion between SI system and Metric system is related to the gravitational
constant. The approximations listed below are commonly used.
1 N = 1/9.807 kg = 0.102 kg ~= 1/10 kg
1 kN = 1/9.807 tonne = 0.102 tonne ~= 1/10 tonne
1 Nm = 1/9.807 kg-m = 0.102 kg-m ~= 1/10 kg-m
1 bar = 1.020 kg/cm2 ~= 1 kg/cm2
1 kg = 9.807 N ~= 10 N
1 tonne = 9.807 kN ~= 10 kN
1 Mp = 1/10 kN
1 kg-m = 9.807 Nm ~= 10 Nm
1 kg/cm2 = 0.9807 bar ~= 1 bar
Occasionally, Pa (Pascal) or MPa is used. 1 MPa = 10 bar.
1 in = 25.4 mm
1 in3 = 16.4 cm3 = 0.0164 litre
1 gal = 3.785 litre
1 oz = 28.4 g
1 lb. = 0.454 kg = 4.448 N
1 (short) ton = 0.908 tonne
1 in-lb. = 0.01153 kg-m = 0.1131 N-m
1 psi = 0.07031 kg/cm2 = 0.06895 bar
1 hp = 0.7457 kW
1 g = 0.0352 oz
1 kW = 1.341 hp
1 kg/cm2 = 14.22 psi
1 bar = 14.5 psi
