Synopsis

This is a handy reference for students, teachers, and practitioners in the sciences and technical subjects, especially engineering and physics. More than 3500 conversion factors are given directly. Calculated from internationally agreed upon primary conversion factors, all factors are given to the greatest possible accuracy within a limit of ten significant figures. The conversion factors are grouped into unit types by areas of application, ranging from angular acceleration to volume flow. The primary conversion factors used in deriving all the others are given in separate sections. Also of practical help are sections of common mathematical and engineering formulae together with numerical values of certain common material properties (strengths, densities, and thermal properties).

Review

`This is an excellent (almost pocket-sized) reference book covering nearly four thousand conversion factors relating to quantities used every day in science, engineering and technology. The layout is exceptionally well organised for ease of reference and the volume also contains a good deal of
numerical data.'
ASLIB Booklist

'A handy little volume giving more than three-and-a-half thousand conversion factors given directly.'
The Structural Engineer, Volume 72, No. 19/4 October 1994
