    Uploaded by

    Carlo Ray Selabao
    The document provides numerous conversion factors for length, weight, area, volume, velocity, pressure, density, energy, flow, and HVAC metrics. Conversion factors are given to convert between units like miles and kilometers, pounds and kilograms, square feet and square meters, gallons and liters, miles per hour and knots, pounds per square inch and inches of mercury, British thermal units and joules, gallons per minute and million gallons per day, and others. Fuel conversion factors are also listed to convert energy usage between electric, oil, gas and geothermal systems.
