Conversion Factor Sheet

The document provides conversion factors between different units of measurement for time, length, mass, volume, moles, and other quantities in both the metric and British/Imperial systems. It lists equivalencies between units like minutes to seconds, meters to kilometers, grams to kilograms, liters to megaliters, ounces to pounds, and more. Standard units are also defined, such as there being 1000 grams in 1 kilogram or 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch.
