Conversion rules

Acceleration: 1 m/s2 = 100 cm/s2

Area: 1 m2 = 104 cm2 = 106 mm2

Density: 1 g/cm3 = 1 kg/L = 1,000 kg/m3

Energy, heat, work, internal energy, enthalpy: 1 kJ = 1,000 J = 1,000 N·m = 1 kPa·m3
1 kJ/kg = 1,000 m2/s2

Force: 1 N = 1 kg·m/s2

Length: 1 m = 100 cm = 1,000 mm

Mass: 1 kg = 1,000 g

Power, heat transfer rate: 1 W = 1 J/s, 1 kW = 1,000 W

Pressure: 1 Pa = 1 N/m2, 1 kPa = 1,000 kPa, 1 MPa = 1,000 kPa
1 atmosphere (atm) = 101.325 kPa

Specific heat, entropy: 1 kJ/kg · °C = 1 kJ/kg · K = 1 J/g·°C

Specific volume: 1 m3/kg = 1,000 L/kg = 1,000 cm3/kg

Temperature: T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15, T(°C) = (5/9) T(°F) – 32, T(°F) = (9/5) T(°C) + 32

Velocity: 1m/s = 3.6 km/hr

Volume: 1 m3 = 1,000 L = 106 cm3
