UNITS OF WATER MEASURMENT

1 gal. = 8.34 lbs. = 0.1337 cu. ft. = 231 cu. in.

1 cu. ft. (7.48)(8.34) = 62.4 lbs.

1 acre-in. 27,154 gal. = 3,630 cu. ft.

1 acre-ft. 325,828 (326,000) gal. = 34,560 cu. ft.

1 cu. ft. per sec. = 449 (450) gal. per min. = 0.9917 (1.01) acre-in. per hr.

1 acre-in. per hr. = 453 (450) gpm

1 acre-ft. per day = 226 (225) gpm

1,000,000 gal. per day = 695 gpm = 1.55 cu. ft. per sec. = 3.08 ac. ft./day

1 ft. of water (head) 0.433 psi

1 psi = 2.31 ft. of water (head)

METRIC SYSTEM CONVERSIONS

Measures of Length

10 millimeters = 1 centimeter 0.3937 in.

10 centimeters (cm) = 1 decimeter 3.937 in.

10 decimeters (dm) = 1 meter 39.37 in.

10 meters (m) = 1 decameter = 393.7 in.

10 decameters (dkm) = 1 hectometer 329 ft. 1 in.

10 hectometers (hm) = 1 kilometer = 0.6214 mi.

10 kilometers (km) = 1 myriameter (mym) = 6.214 mi.

Land Measures

1 sq. meter (m^2 ) = 1 centiare = 1550 sq. in.

100 centiares (ca) or 100 m^2 = 1 are = 119.6 sq. yd.

100 ares (a) or 10,000 m^2 = 1 hectare (ha) = 2,471 acres

1 sq. kilometer (km) = 1,000,000 sq. meters = 0.3861 sq. mi.

Measures of Capacity The standard unit of capacity is the liter, equal to cubic decimeter or 0.9081 dry quart or 1. liquid quarts.

10 milliliters (ml) = 1 centileter = 0.338 fl. oz.

10 centileters (cl) = 1 decileter = 6.1025 cu. in.

10 deciliters (dl) = 1 liter = 0.9081 dry qt.

10 liters (1) = 1 decaliter = 0.284 bu. or 2.64 gal.

10 decaliters (dkl) = 1 hectoliter = 2.838 bu. or 26.418 gal.

10 hectoliters (hl) = 1 kiloliter = 35.315 cu. ft. or 264.18 gal.

Metric Equivalents of Common Units Inch = 2. Foot = 0.308 m Yard = 0.9144m Rod = 5.029 m Mile = 1.6093 km sq. inch = 6.452 cm sq. foot = 0.0929 m sq. yard = 0.8361 m acre = 0.4047 ha sq. mile = 259 ha or 2.590 km cu. Inch = 16.387 cm cu. Foot = 0.0283 m cu. Yard = 0.7646 m liquid qt. = 0.9463 L dry qt. = 1.1012 L gallon = 3.7853 L bushel = 35.238 L oz. av. = 0.4536 kg oz. troy = 31.1035 g lb. troy = 0.3732 kg
