A Dictionary of Units by Frank Tapson This provides a summary of most of the units of measurement to be found in use around the world today (and a few of historical interest), together with the appropriate conversion factors needed to change them into a 'standard' unit of the SI. The units may be found either by looking under the in which they are used, (length energy etc.) category or by picking one unit from an alphabetically ordered list of units There is a Summary Table of the most often required Conversion Factors There are NO units of currency. There is an outline of the S I system a list of its 7 basic definitions some of its derived units together with a list of all the S I prefixes and some of the rules and conventions for its usage On the subject of measures generally, there is a short historical note Then there are descriptions of the Metric system and the U K (Imperial) system followed by statements on the implementation of 'metrication' in the U K and then the U S system of measures At the bottom of this document is a list of other sources and also some links to other Web sites Finally there are some notes on this material There is a separate document covering the most FAQ and other measures Or, to get a

Which old units of measurement are no longer in use for trade? How do I find out if my customers weighing instrument can be converted to weigh in metric units? How do I convert to metric? Temperature - To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius (the unit Centigrade is no longer used) subtract 32 and multiply the result by 5/9. Other imperial units - The following Table is taken from the Schedule to the Units of Measurement Regulations 1995, SI 1995 No 1804. These Regulations provide, from their coming into force on 1 October 1995 (and, for some uses, from 1 January 2000), for those uses of the imperial system for which no implementing legislation has made specific provision. Where, before those dates, use is made in legislation, or in any deed or document (for example), of an imperial unit in the circumstances specified in Directives 71/1354/EEC and 80/181/EEC and legal effect is to be given to that use after those dates, these Regulations provide for its conversion into the metric equivalent. No such conversion from imperial to metric is, however, made in those circumstances where use of imperial units may lawfully continue. For example: where an imperial unit is used as a supplementary indication; the use of the pint for dispensing draught beer and cider. In ordinary use a more rough and ready conversion may be more appropriate than using all the decimal places in the Table; for example one pint is approximately 568 ml.
