    This document provides conversions between metric and imperial units for dimensions, mass, force, area, volume, temperature, and prefixes used in the metric system. It lists equivalents for length, area, mass and weight, force, temperature, solid wire weight, and stress measurements between the metric and imperial systems. Standard prefixes like kilo, milli, and micro are also defined with their multiplying factors.
