    1 lb/(ft⋅h) ≈ 4.133 789 × 10 −4 Pa⋅s: pound per foot second: lb/(ft⋅s) ≡ 1 lb/(ft⋅s) ≈ 1.488 164 Pa⋅s: pound-force second per square foot: lbf⋅s/ft 2: ≡ 1 lbf⋅s/ft 2: ≈ 47.880 26 Pa⋅s: pound-force second per square inch: lbf⋅s/in 2: ≡ 1 lbf⋅s/in 2: ≈ 6 894.757 Pa⋅s

  3. Specific weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_weight

    The specific weight, also known as the unit weight (symbol γ, the Greek letter gamma), is a volume-specific quantity defined as the weight W divided by the volume V of a material: = / Equivalently, it may also be formulated as the product of density, ρ, and gravity acceleration, g: = Its unit of measurement in the International System of Units (SI) is newton per cubic metre (N/m 3), with ...

    The converse is pound per square inch gauge (psig), indicating that the pressure is relative to atmospheric pressure. For example, a bicycle tire pumped up to 65 psig in a local atmospheric pressure at sea level (14.7 psi) will have a pressure of 79.7 psia (14.7 psi + 65 psi).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    For example, the freezing point of water is 0 °C and 32 °F, and a 5 °C change is the same as a 9 °F change. Thus, to convert from units of Fahrenheit to units of Celsius, one subtracts 32 °F (the offset from the point of reference), divides by 9 °F and multiplies by 5 °C (scales by the ratio of units), and adds 0 °C (the offset from the ...

  7. Bushel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushel

    The imperial bushel established by the Weights and Measures Act 1824 described the bushel as the volume of 80 avoirdupois pounds of distilled water in air at 62 °F (17 °C) [citation needed] or 8 imperial gallons. [1] This is the bushel in some use in the United Kingdom. Thus, there is no distinction between liquid and dry measure in the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_measure

    In US customary units, most units of volume exist both in a dry and a liquid version, with the same name, but different values: the dry hogshead, dry barrel, dry gallon, dry quart, dry pint, etc. The bushel and the peck are only used for dry goods. Imperial units of volume are the same for both dry and liquid goods. They have a different value ...
