1 kg = 2.205 lb
1 kgf = 9.81N (Newton)
1 kg/ cm2 = 0.981 bar; 1 bar = 1.0197 kg/ cm2
1 bar = 105 N/ m2 (Pa) = 102 kPa = 0.1 Mpa
1 atm = 760 mm of Hg = 1.033 kg/ cm2 = 1.013 bar
750 mm of Hg = 1 bar
Absolute Pressure = Actual pressure in the system
Gauge Pressure = differential pressure with respect to
atmospheric
1 kg/ cm2g = 2.033 kg/ cm2 absolute (ata)
1 ata = 1 kg/ cm2 abs
1 mm of water column = 1 kg/ m2
10 m of water column = 1 kg/ cm2
1 kg-m = 9.81 N-m = 9.81 J
1 kcal = 4.187 kJ = 3.969 BTU
1kg-m/s = 9.81 W
1 HP (British) = 33000 ft pound/min = 746 Watt ≈ 0.75 kW
1 kWh = 3600 kJ = 860 kcal
