To convert from imperial to metric, multiply by the conversion factor.

For example:  10 inches x 2.5 = 25 centimetres

To convert from metric to imperial, divide by the conversion factor.                                                                   

For example:  25 centimetres ÷ 2.5 = 10 inches

Imperial Conversions:

      lb/acre x 0.0033 = oz/yd2

      gal/acre x 0.033 = oz/yd2

Useful Measurements

 

1

Imperial gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 160 fluid ounces = 10 pounds of water = approximately 1.2 U.S. gallons

1

U.S. gallon = .8345 or approximately 5/6 Imperial gallon = 8.3 pounds

1

Imperial pint = 20 fluid ounces = 570 mL

1

U.S. pint = 16 fluid ounces = 475 mL

1

pound = 16 ounces

1

tablespoon = 3 teaspoons = 14 mL

2

tablespoons = 1 fluid ounce = 28 mL

 

1

pound in 100,000 gallons of water = 1 ppm (part per million)

1

mile = 5,280 feet = 1,760 yards

1

yard = 3 feet = 36 inches

1

foot = 12 inches

1

acre = approximately 209 by 209 feet or 43,560 square feet

1

square yard = 9 square feet

1

square foot = 144 square inches

1

mile an hour = 88 feet a minute

1

cubic yd = 27 cubic feet

Parts per Million

1 per cent = 10,000 parts per million

Imperial: 1 fl. oz./gallon = 6250 ppm

                1 gallon in 1,000,000 gallons of water = 1 ppm

                1 litre in 1,000,000 litres of water = 1ppm = 1 mL/1,000 L

Metric:  1 mg/litre (water) = 1 ppm

                1 g/litre (water) = 1000 ppm

                1 mL/litre = 1000 ppm
