Conversion Factors

This document provides conversion factors for various units of measurement related to length, mass, volume, temperature, energy, force, pressure, density, viscosity, and other physical quantities. It lists equivalencies between units like inches and centimeters, pounds and kilograms, gallons and liters, Fahrenheit and Celsius, joules and BTUs, atmospheres and pounds per square foot, and others. Standard conversion factors and constants like the gas constant R and acceleration due to gravity g are also included.
