    WEIGHT To convert from imperial to metric, multiply by the
    ounces 28 grams (g) conversion factor.
    pounds 0.45 kilograms (kg) For example: 10 inches x 2.5 = 25 centimetres
    short tons 0.9 tonnes (t)
    TEMPERATURE To convert from metric to imperial, divide by the
    degrees degrees conversion factor.
    Fahrenheit (F - 32) 0.56 Celsius (oC) For example: 25 centimetres ÷ 2.5 = 10 inches
    POWER Imperial Conversions:
    horsepower 750 watts (w) lb/acre x 0.0033 = oz/yd2
    0.75 kilowatts (kw) gal/acre x 0.033 = oz/yd2

    Useful Measurements
    1 Imperial gallon = 4 quarts 1 mile = 5,280 feet
    = 8 pints = 1,760 yards
    = 160 fluid ounces 1 yard = 3 feet
    = 10 pounds of water = 36 inches
    = approx. 1.2 US gallons 1 foot = 12 inches
    1 U.S. gallon = 0.8345 or approx. 5/6 Imperial gallon 1 acre = approx. 209 by 209 feet
    = 8.3 pounds or 43,560 square feet.
    1 Imperial pint = 20 fluid ounces = 570 mL 1 square yard = 9 square feet
    1 U.S. pint = 16 fluid ounces = 475 mL 1 square foot = 144 square inches
    1 pound = 16 ounces 1 mile an hour = 88 feet a minute
    1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons = 14 mL 1 cubic yd = 27 cubic feet
    2 tablespoons = 1 fluid ounce = 28 mL

    Calculating Parts Per Million
    Metric Conversion Factors

    Parts Per Million


    1 per cent = 10,000 parts per million
    Imperial:
    1 fl. oz./gallon = 6250 ppm
    1 gallon in
    1,000,000 gallons of water = 1ppm
    1 litre in 1,000,000 litres of water = 1ppm = 1 mL/1,000 L
    Metric:
    1 mg/litre (water) = 1 ppm
    1 g/litre (water) = 1000 ppm
    1 mL/litre = 1000 ppm

    The Metric System

    LINEAR MEASURES WEIGHT-VOLUME EQUIVALENTS (FOR WATER)


    10 millimetres (mm) = 1 centimetre (1.00 kg) 1000 grams = 1 litre (1.00 L)
    100 centimetres = 1 metre (m) (0.50 kg) 500 g = 500 mL (0.50 L)
    1000 metres = 1 kilometre (0.10 kg) 100 g = 100 mL (0.10 L)
    (0.01 kg) 10 g = 10 mL (0.01 L)
    SQUARE MEASURES (AREA) (0.001 kg) 1 g = 1 mL (0.001 L)
    100 m X 100 m = 10,000 m2
    = hectare (ha) WEIGHT MEASURES
    100 ha = 1 square kilometre (km2) 1000 milligrams (mg) = 1 gram (g)
    1000 g = 1 kilogram (kg)
    CUBIC MEASURES (VOLUME) 1000 kg = 1 tonne (t)
    Dry Measure 1 mg/kg = 1 part per million (ppm)
    1000 cubic millitres (mm3) = 1 cubic metre (m3)
    1,000,000 cm3 = 1 cubic metre (m3) DRY – LIQUID EQUIVALENTS
    Liquid Measure 1 cm3 = mL
    1000 millilitres (mL) = 1 litre (L) 1 m 3 = 1000 L
    100 L = 1 hectolitre (hL)
