Unit Conversion

This document provides conversions between common US customary system (USCS) units and International System of Units (SI) for various engineering quantities including mass, length, area, volume, density, viscosity, flow rate, pressure, velocity, temperature, and other thermal properties. It lists the USCS and SI units for each quantity and provides the conversion factors between units. For example, it states that 1 slug is equivalent to 14.594 kg, 1 pound is equivalent to 4.4482 N, and 1 foot is equivalent to 0.3048 meters.

Item

Kinematic viscosity in SSU and SSF are converted to viscosity in cSt using the following formulas:
Centistokes = 0:226 SSU 195/SSU for 32 SSU 100

(A 1.1)
(A 1.2)
(A 1.3)

Centistokes = 2:16 SSF 60/SSF for SSF > 40

(A 1.4)

Appendix 1

Centistokes = 0:220 SSU 135/SSU for SSU > 100


Centistokes = 2:24 SSF 184/SSF for 25 SSF 40
