Width
Thickness
Millimeters mm = in. x 25.40 0.001” = 0.025 mm
Inches in. = mm x 0.0394

Length
Meters m = yd x 0.9144 100 yds = 91.44 m
Yards yds = m x 1.094

Force
Newtons N = oz x 0.2780 2 oz = 0.556 N
lbs oz = N x 3.5969
oz N = lb x 4.4472
lbs = N x 0.2249 5 lbs = 22.2 N
gm gm = 0.0353 oz

Adhesion

Newtons/100 mm N/100 mm = oz/in. x 1.0945 10 oz/in. = 11 N/100 mm
oz/in. oz/in. = N/100 mm x 0.9136

Tensile
Newtons/100 mm N/100 = lb/in. x 17.5127 5 lb/in. = 88 N/100 mm
lb/in. lb/in. = N/100 mm x 5.72

Adhesion to Liner
Newtons/100 mm N/100 mm = g/in. x 0.03861 150 g/in. = 5.8 N/100 mm

Density
kg/cubic meter kg/m3 = lb/ft x 16.0185 2 lb/ft3 = 32 kg/m3
lb/cubic feet lb/ft3 = kg/m x 0.0624

Pressure
Kilopascals kPa = psi x 6.8948 25 psi = 172.4 kPa
Megapascals psi = mPa x 145
psi mPA = psi x 0.006895 200 psi = 1.379 mPa
psi = mPa x 145
