Table 1 presents the conversion multiplication factors to convert from English units to SI units (and vice versa) for basic measurements including length, weight, area, volume, bulk density, mass flow rate, volume flow rate, pressure and power. Additional conversion factors are presented for energy, energy density, and
READ MOREA set unit of prefixes have been established and are known as the SI prefixes or the metric prefixes (or units). The prefixes indicate whether the unit is a multiple or a fraction of the base ten . It allows the reduction of zeros of a very small number or a very larger number such as 0.000 000 001 meter and 7,500,000 Joules into 1 nanometer
