See Weight for detail of mass/weight distinction and conversion. Avoirdupois is a system of mass based on a pound of 16 ounces, while Troy weight is the system of mass where 12 troy ounces equals one troy pound. The symbol g 0 is used to denote standard gravity in order to avoid confusion with the (upright) g symbol for gram.

Conversion of the Mach unit of speed depends on the altitude at which the speed is measured. That altitude should be specified either in feet (for example, |altitude_ft=10,000) or in metres (for example, |altitude_m=3,749). The altitude cannot be determined accurately and only a whole number is accepted. Examples:
Conversion of units is the conversion of the unit of measurement in which a quantity is expressed, typically through a multiplicative conversion factor that changes the unit without changing the quantity. This is also often loosely taken to include replacement of a quantity with a corresponding quantity that describes the same physical property.

Thicknesses can vary significantly; extremely thin sheets are considered foil or leaf, and pieces thicker than 6 mm (0.25 in) are considered plate, such as plate steel, a class of structural steel. Sheet metal is available in flat pieces or coiled strips. The coils are formed by running a continuous sheet of metal through a roll slitter.
Conversion from imperial to metric. Conversion from kilo grain feet per second to newton-seconds is trivial, since both the grain and foot is based on SI units. One troy grain is defined as 0.064 798 91 grams exactly [1] and one international foot is defined as 0.3048 meters, giving the exact conversion factor of 0.019 750 707 768. [2]
Metric shipping factor examples: 5000 cm 3 /kg <=> 200 kg/m 3; 6000 cm 3 /kg <=> 166.667 kg/m 3; 7000 cm 3 /kg <=> 142.857 kg/m 3; When calculating the dimensional weight with metric measurements, the length, width, and height are measured in centimeters (cm) and the result is stated in a nominal kilogram (kg) dimensional weight band (usually ...
