METRIC SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The metric system is based on quantities of one,
ten, one hundred, one thousand and one million.
MULTIPLY
in-lbs
ft-lbs
Inches Hg (60° F)
psi
Inches
Feet
Yards
mph
Feet/Sec
mph
Kilometers/Hr. (Km/h)
1 inch = 25 Millimeters
1 Foot = 0.3 Meter
1 Yard = 0.9 Meter
1 Mile = 1.6 Kilometers
Refer to the Metric Conversion Chart to convert
torque values listed in metric Newton- meters (N·m).
Also, use the chart to convert between millimeters
(mm) and inches (in.) (Fig. 5).
