    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conversion_factors

    Conversions between units in the metric system are defined by their prefixes (for example, 1 kilogram = 1000 grams, 1 milligram = 0.001 grams) and are thus not listed in this article. Exceptions are made if the unit is commonly known by another name (for example, 1 micron = 10 −6 metre).

  4. Gram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gram

    The gram (originally gramme; [1] SI unit symbol g) is a unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one thousandth of a kilogram.. Originally defined in 1795 as "the absolute weight of a volume of pure water equal to the cube of the hundredth part of a metre [1 cm 3], and at the temperature of melting ice", [2] the defining temperature (≈0 °C) was later changed to 4 °C ...

    One momme = 4.340 g/m 2; 8 mommes is approximately 1 ounce per square yard or 35 g/m 2. The momme is based on the standard width of silk of 45 inches (1.1 m) wide (though silk is regularly produced in 55-inch (1.4 m) widths and uncommonly in larger widths). The usual range of momme weight for different weaves of silk are: Habutai—5 to 16 mm

  8. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    The factor–label method can convert only unit quantities for which the units are in a linear relationship intersecting at 0 (ratio scale in Stevens's typology). Most conversions fit this paradigm. An example for which it cannot be used is the conversion between the Celsius scale and the Kelvin scale (or the Fahrenheit scale). Between degrees ...

    An imperial fluid ounce of 28.4130625 ml is 3.924% smaller than the US fluid ounce (fl oz) of 29.5735295625 millilitres (ml). However, as there are 16 US fl oz to a US pint and 20 imp fl oz to an imperial pint, the imperial pint is 20.095% larger than a US pint, and the same is true for gills , quarts , and gallons : six US gallons (22. ...
