STANDARD CONVERSION FACTORS

One of the basic knowledge must have for Site engineer is that the conversion of unit from one to another unit. As we do not know in which unit designers will draw a drawing. Say if designers draw in feet and you need it in meter then, in that case, it becomes very necessary to know conversion of unit. So that if some ask you and you can answer it immediately.

INCH = 25.4 MILLIMETRE
FOOT = 0.3048 METRE
YARD = 0.9144 METRE
MILE = 1.6093 KILOMETER
ACRE = 0.4047 HECTARE
POUND = 0.4536 KILOGRAM
DEGREE FARENHEIT X 5/9 – 32 = DEGREE
CELSIUS
MILLIMETRE= 0.0394 INCH
METRE = 3.2808FOOT
METRE = 1.0936 YARD.
