Units and its conversions

1 newton = 1 kilogram-meter/(second)2 Acceleration = meter/sec2


1 volt = 1 newton-meter/coulomb Angle = radian
1 amp = 1 coulomb/second Angular Acceleration = radian/sec2
1 joule = 1 newton-meter = 1 coulomb-volt Angular Momentum = kgm-meter2 /sec
1 ohm = 1 volt/amp Angular Velocity = radian/sec
1 watt = 1 joule/sec Area = meter2
Energy = joule Mass Density = kgm/meter3
Force = newton Momentum = kgm-meter/sec
Frequency = cycle/sec Power = watt
Length = meter Pressure = newton/meter2
Mass = kilogram Time = second
Torque = newton-meter
Velocity = meter/sec Temperature = °C or K or F
Viscosity (Dynamic) = kgm/meter-sec 1 °C = 273 K = 33.8 F
Viscosity (Kinematic) = meter2 /sec Heat = Joule or Calorie(Cal)
Volume = meter3 1 Cal = 4.186 J
Wave Length = meter Specific Heat Capacity:
Work = joule J/gK or kJ/kg.K or kcal/kg °C
Thermal Conductivity= W/mK 1 hour = 60 Minutes=3600 Seconds
Thermal Resistance = K/W 1 yr = 52.14 wks = 365 days = 8760 hr
Enthalpy = Joules Speed = m/s or m/hr
Entrophy = Joules/Kelvin.mole 1 British thermal unit = 1055 Joules
Thermal Diffusivity= meter2 /sec 1 horsepower = 736 or 746 Watts
Heat Transfer Coefficient = W/m2.K 1 Kilowatts = 1000 Watts
Heat Flux = W/m2
1 Centipoise = 10-2 Poise Humidity= g/kg
Stefan-Boltzmann Const = 5.67 × 10-8 W/m2.K4 Poissons ratio= No unit
Planck’s Constant = 6.63 × 10-34 joule/sec 1 Tonne of refrigeration = 50 k Cal/min or 210 kJ/min
Specific Volume = m3/kg Bulk modulus = N/m2
Surface tension= N/m Flow Rate = (m³/s) or litres/second
Pressure = bar or N/m2 1 inch = 2.54 cm= 25.4 mm
1 bar = 105 N/m2
1 meter = 10 decimeter 1 gallon = 3.78541 L (litres)
1 meter = 100 centimeter Standard atmospheric pressure = 1 atm = 101.325 kPa
1 meter = 1000 millimeter = 1.01325 bar
1 meter = 3.281 feet 1 pound = 0.4536 kg (kilograms)
Three systems of unit:-
1. C.G.S. system (or French system): In this system, the unit of length is centimeter (cm), unit of
mass is gramme (g) and unit of time is second (s).
2. F.P.S. system (or British system): In this system, the unit of length is foot (ft), unit of mass is
pound (lb) and unit of time is second (s).
3. M.K.S. system (or metric system): In this system, the unit of length is metre (m), unit of mass is
kilogramme (kg) and unit of time is second (s).
Metric prefix:
tera=1012; giga = 109 ; mega = 106; kilo = 103; hecto = 102 ; deci = 10−1;
centi = 10−2; milli= 10−3; micro = 10−6; nano = 10−9; pico = 10−12
