Fluid power users are sometimes confused by Nm. This is not

Newton-metres but refers to meters ANR, i.e. a volume of air
measured against the standard or normal atmosphere reference.
The equivalent imperial term is S.C.F. (Standard Cubic Feet).

Can be achieved by using the following formula:

F = (C x 1.8) + 32
C = (F - 32) 1.8

Additional information
Atmosphere - (standard reference)
A.N.R. (Atmosphere Normale de Refernce) ISO R558.
This is the agreed atmosphere to control specification values and
test results, as given in ISO R554.
Pneumatic fluid power uses 1013 mbar, 20C, 65% RH (ISO R554).
Compressor and pneumatic tool industries prefer 1000 mbar, 20C,
65% RH (ISO 2787).
Aerospace, Petroleum and British Gas Industries prefer 1013 mbar,
15C, Dry (ISO 2533 and ISO 5024).

Litre
The symbol l is being superceded by L to avoid confusion with 1
(one).
1 L = 1 dm.
Bar
1 bar = 100 kPa = kN/m.
kg /cm
This unit is still used in some areas. The conversions are as follows:
1 kg /cm = 0.980 665 bar = 0.967 841 atmos = 14.223 3 psi
