Conversion of Units

1. The document provides conversion factors for various units of measurement between metric and imperial systems including distances, areas, volumes, masses, temperatures, densities, velocities and pressures. 2. Key conversions include kilometers to miles, meters to feet, grams to pounds, degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit, liters to gallons, kilograms to pounds, hectares to acres, and atmospheres to pounds per square inch. 3. Physical properties like specific weight, specific gravity, bulk modulus and compressibility are also defined in terms of standard metric and imperial units.
