Metric Conversion calculators, tables and formulas for temperature, length, area, volume and weight metric conversions.
Table 1 presents the conversion multiplication factors to convert from English units to SI units (and vice versa) for basic measurements including length, weight, area, volume, bulk density, mass flow rate, volume flow rate, pressure and power.
English units. lb = pound. Ounce vs Fluid Ounce: oz is a mass unit and fl oz is a volume unit in the English system. oz = ounce. pt = pint. qt = quart. gal = gallon. 8 fluid oz = 1 cup. 2 cups = 1 pt.
A conversion factor is the number or formula you need to convert a measurement in one set of units to the same measurement in another set of units. The number is usually given as a numerical ratio or fraction that can be used as a multiplication factor.
NIST HB 44 – Appendix C (Current Edition) provides several convenient conversion factor tables for length, area, volume (dry and liquid measure), and mass using SI (metric system) and U.S. customary units, including notes on British measurement units.
