    This document provides conversion factors for various scientific units: 1) It lists quantities that need to be converted between different units like temperature gradient between Celsius/Foot and Fahrenheit/meter or power between pound-foot/second and kilogram-meter/second. 2) It addresses that the formula for pressure (P) equals specific weight (sp) times vertical head (h) is only valid for consistent units. For inconsistent units, a conversion factor (K) must be applied such that P = K * sp * h. 3) It provides examples of calculating the conversion factor K for different pressure, specific weight and head units - including pounds per square foot to pounds per gallon to feet; k

    Sheet # 1 scientific units

    1- Find the conversion factor "K" to convert the following:

    Quantity from to
    Temp. Gradient C°/Ft F°/m
    Power Lbf.Ft/S Kgf.m/S
    Surface Tension Kg/cm Lb/ft
    Pressure Kg/sq.cm Psi.

    2- P (pressure) = sp (specific weight) * h (vertical head) is valid only for


    consistent units, for practical (inconsistent) units.
    P = K sp h
    Find K for the following units:
    a) P: psf, Sp: ppg, h: ft
    b) P: Kg/cm2 Sp: Kg/m3 h: m
    c) P: psi, Sp: Ib/c.ft, h: ft
