Temperature Conversions
A Fahrenheit
degree is smaller than a Celsius (Centigrade) degree: one Fahrenheit
degree being 5/9 of a Celsius degree.
To
convert Fahrenheit degrees into Celsius: subtract 32, multiply by 5,
and divide by 9.
To convert Celsius into Fahrenheit: multiply by 9, divide by 5,
and add 32.
The
freezing point at water is 32F., 0°C.
The boiling point of water is 212°F., l00°C.

Heating/Cooling
BTU
BTU stands for British Thermal Unit. A BTU is the quantity
of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water from 60 degrees to 61 degrees
Fahrenheit at a constant pressure of one atmosphere. One therm equals 100,000 BTU's. The more
BTU's, the more heat generated.
|
|
ENERGY/POWER |
1
horsepower/hour = 2545 British thermal units
1 British thermal unit = 778 foot-pounds |
1 kilowatt/hours = 3600 kilojoules
1 kilowatt = 1 kilojoule/sec |
Conversion Factors
1 horsepower/hour = 0.746 kilowatt/hours : 1
kilowatt/hour = 1.34 horsepower/hours
1 horsepower = 746 watts : 1 watt = 0.00134 horsepower
1 British thermal unit = 0.252 calories (kilogram calorie) |
| |
|
|
TEMPERATURE |
Boiling
point of water = 212° Fahrenheit
Freezing point of water = 32° Fahrenheit |
Boiling point of water = 100° Celsius
Freezing point of water = 0° Celsius
1 Celsius degree = 1 Kelvin degree
0 Kelvin = absolute zero |
Conversion Factors
Fahrenheit to Celsius = (5/9)x(tF-32)
Fahrenheit to Kelvin = (5/9)x(tF + 459.67)
Celsius to Fahrenheit = (9/5 x tC)+32
Celsius to Kelvin = tC + 273.15 |

TIME
60 seconds = 1 minute
1 hour = 216,000 seconds
60 minutes = 1 hour
24 hours = 1 day
168 hours = 1 week (24 hrs x 7 days)
7 days = 1 week
52 weeks = 1 year
365 days = 1 year
10 years = 1 decade
100 years = 1 centuryDAYS in a MONTH
Feb., Apr., Jun., Sep., Nov. = 30 days per month
