This publication is a collection of various measurement conversions that you may find a
need for while working on a Mack Truck.

In addition to the standard Metric to English, and English to Metric, conversions, you will
find information on drill sizes, tap drill sizes, temperature, volume, fuel performance,
velocity, force, area, and pressure.

We hope you find these helpful. If you have suggestions of additional items to be added to
this publication, please contact the Service Publications Department of Mack Trucks, Inc.
