Conversion Tables

Conversion Factors
The table of conversion factors is based on the Gould Pump Manual table, with some additions. They are not meant to include all possible units or conversions. The exact conversion factors may in some cases disagree with other authorities. English measures unless otherwise designated, are those used in the United States, and the units of weight and mass are avoirdupois units. Gallon designates the U.S. gallon. To convert into the imperial gallon, multiply the U.S. gallon by 0.83267. Likewise, the word ton designates a short ton, 2,000 pounds. Properties of water it freezes at 32F, and is at its maximum density at 39.2F. In the multipliers using the properties of water, calculations are based on water at 39.2F in a vacuum, weighing 62.427 pounds per cubic foot, or 8.345 pounds per U.S. gallon.

International System (SI)

The governments of many countries have adopted or are converting to the use of the International System of Units. In the United States, the Metric Conversion Act of 1975 declared the coordination and planning of increasing use of the metric system to be government policy. In Canada, the SI system has been fully implemented. Those wishing definitions of SI units and definitive listings of SI conversions between metric and customary (English) units should refer to: API Publication 2564, Manual of Petroleum, Measurement Standards, Chapter 15Guidelines for the use of the International System of Units (SI) in the Petroleum and Allied Industries.
