Factors FOR Unit Conversions: Quant Ity Equivalent Values

This document provides conversion factors and useful quantities for engineering units in various categories including mass, length, volume, force, pressure, energy, power, viscosity, density, volumetric flow, temperature, and composition of air. It lists equivalent values for converting between units like kilograms, grams, pounds, meters, feet, liters, gallons, newtons, pounds-force, atmospheres, joules, watts, pascal-seconds, kilograms per meter-second, and others. Standard values are also provided for the density and dynamic viscosity of water, acceleration due to gravity, specific heat of water, gas constant, and molecular composition of air.
