Electus Distribution Reference Data Sheet: UNITCONV.

PDF UNITS & CONVERSION TABLES

It is quite common to see all sorts of conversion tables in engineering journals, wall charts or even the odd phone book! Inevitably they all tend to be less than totally comprehensive. We are attempting to do something about this by bringing together every unit for physical quantities we have ever heard of (and some we hadnt!) and publish them hopefully with a useful conversion. We dare not say that this list is complete and, quite possibly there may even be an error in there amongst some of those exotic numbers but weve fixed all we know about. We hope to make this compendium a feature of all future Electus Catalogue data sections, and an ongoing feature on our website. We welcome corrections and especially additions to some of the weirder imperial or, heaven forbid, metric measurements. Mail, fax or Email (ii n f o @ e l e c t u s d i s t r i b u t i o n . c o m . a u ) your F suggestions to: Furlongs per Fortnight here at Electus, and it will get to the right person! NOTE: This is not an attempt to undermine the metric system. Thanks to the Brits, the Asians & the Americans, many of these archaic units of measurement are still in common use.
