The metric system is based on quantities of one, ten, one hundred, one thousand and one million.
The following chart will assist in converting metric units to equivalent English and SAE units, or vise versa.
| MULTIPLY | BY | TO GET | MULTIPLY | BY | TO GET |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| in-lbs | x 0.11298 | = Newton Meters (N.m) | N.m | x 8.851 | = in-lbs |
| ft-lbs | x 1.3558 | = Newton Meters (N.m) | N.m | x 0.7376 | = ft-lbs |
| Inches Hg (60° F) | x 3.377 | = Kilopascals (kPa) | kPa | x 0.2961 | = Inches Hg |
| psi | x 6.895 | = Kilopascals (kPa) | kPa | x 0.145 | = psi |
| Inches | x 25.4 | = Millimeters (mm) | mm | x 0.03937 | = Inches |
| Feet | x 0.3048 | = Meters (M) | M | x 3.281 | = Feet |
| Yards | x 0.9144 | = Meters | M | x 1.0936 | = Yards |
| mph | x 1.6093 | = Kilometers/Hr. (Km/h) | Km/h | x 0.6214 | = mph |
| Feet/Sec | x 0.3048 | = Meters/Sec (M/S) | M/S | x 3.281 | = Feet/Sec |
| mph | x 0.4470 | = Meters/Sec (M/S) | M/S | x 2.237 | = mph |
| Kilometers/Hr. (Km/h) | x 0.27778 | = Meters/Sec (M/S) | M/S | x 3.600 | Kilometers/Hr. (Km/h) |
| 1 inch = 25 Millimeters | 1 Cubic Inch = 16 Cubic Centimeters |
| 1 Foot = 0.3 Meter | 1 Cubic Foot = 0.03 Cubic Meter |
| 1 Yard = 0.9 Meter | 1 Cubic Yard = 0.8 Cubic Meter |
| 1 Mile = 1.6 Kilometers |
