Weights And Meassures

Question 1

Metric/imperial unit conversions

Answer 1

1 L = .2642 U.S. Gallons or .219 imp Gals
1 U.S gallon = 3.785 L
1 imp gal = 4.546 L

Question 2

Water

Answer 2

1 ft3 = 62.4 lbs ( density of water)
1 ft3 = 6.24 lbs imperial gallons ( ig)
1 ft3 = 7.5 U.S gallons
1 imperial gallon= 10 lbs
1 U.S gallon = 8.33 lbs
1m 3 of water = 1000 kg (density of water)
1 m3 = 1000 L
1 L water = 1 kg

Question 3

BHP,BTU and EDR

Answer 3

1 BHP = 34.5 lbs of water to steam
1 EDR steam = 240 BTUs
1 BHP = 33475 BTUs
1 EDR water = 150 BTU
Water: BTU = EDR x 150 BTU/hr
Steam: BTU = EDR x 240 BTU/hr

Question 4

Atmospheric pressure

Answer 4

1 atmosphere = 14.7 PSIa = 101 KPa
Perfect vacuum = -14.7 PSIG
Gauge pressure = absolute pressure - atmospheric pressure
Absolute pressure = gauge + atmosphere

Question 5

Hydrostatic pressure

Answer 5

1m = 9.81 KPa
1'hd = .433 psi
1"hd = .0361 psi
1psi = 27.71"hd or 2.209' of water column

Question 6

Volume

Answer 6

1m3 = 1000 L = 35.287ft3
1ft3 = 28.34L = 0.028 34 m3
1 gal imp = 4.54 L
1 gal U.S = 3.77 L

Question 7

Mass

Answer 7

1 imp gal = 10 lbs
1 U.S gal = 8.33 lbs
1 m3 = 1000 kg
1 ft3 = 62.5 lbs
