Conversion Formulas and Tables

Metric to English,
English to Metric


Introduction

Most of the world, with the exception of the USA, uses the metric system of measurements exclusively. In the USA there are many people that choose to use the metric system. There are also those who are unfamiliar with, or just don’t 'like' the metric system.

JOBO is an international company. As such, we want to be able to provide information that is understandable to as many different people as possible. To this end, we try to include both metric and English measurements whenever possible.

You may find other sources that publish information exclusively in only one of the measurement systems. These tables will help those who are not familiar with one system to be able to convert to 'their' system of measures.

Conversion Formulas

Back to Top


Formula for Temperature:

Metric to English

Celsius to Fahrenheit

Exact:
9/5 C + 32 = F

Approximately:
C x 2 ~ F

Rough Example:
.1C ~ .2F

The 'Approximately' and the 'Rough Example' conversions should be used only to figure changes to the original temperature, not for converting an absolute temperature. For example, finding out how much difference 3/10 of a degree is OK, but, 'what is 68 degrees F equal to in C' is not correctly converted (because of the 32 degree shift, plus or minus). Note: Some references may use the name 'centigrade' instead of 'Celsius', they mean the same thing.

Formula for Temperature:

English to Metric

Fahrenheit to Celsius

Exact:
5/9 (F - 32) = C

Approximately:
F x .5 ~ C

Rough Example:
1F ~ .05C

The 'Approximately' and the 'Rough Example' conversions should be used only to figure changes to the original temperature, not for converting an absolute temperature. For example, finding out how much difference 3/10 of a degree is OK, but, 'what is 68 degrees F equal to in C' is not correctly converted (because of the 32 degree shift, plus or minus). Note: Some references may use the name 'centigrade' instead of 'Celsius', they mean the same thing.

Formula for Volume:

Metric to English

Milliliters to Ounces

Exact:
ml / 29.5737 = oz

Approximately:
ml / 30 ~ oz

Rough Example:
90 ml ~ 3 oz

Ounces used for conversion are US fluid ounces. 8 oz = 1 US cup. 16 oz = 1 US pint (pt.) 32 oz = 1 US quart (qt.) 128 oz = 1 US gallon (gal.) 1 ml = 1 cubic centimeter (cc.) 1000 ml = 1 liter (l.) Note: 'Liter' is sometimes spelled 'litre.'

Formula for Volume:

English to Metric

Ounces to Milliliters

Exact:
oz / 0.0338 = ml

Approximately:
oz / 0.03 ~ ml

Rough Example:
1 oz ~ 30 ml

Ounces used for conversion are US fluid ounces. 8 oz = 1 US cup. 16 oz = 1 US pint (pt.) 32 oz = 1 US quart (qt.) 128 oz = 1 US gallon (gal.) 1 ml = 1 cubic centimeter (cc.) 1000 ml = 1 liter (l.) Note: 'liter' is sometimes spelled 'litre.'

Formula for Length:

Metric to English

Millimeters to Inches

Exact:
mm / 25.40 = in

Approximately:
mm / 25 ~ in

Rough Example:
25mm ~ 1in

10 mm = 1 cm (centimeter), 1,000 mm = 1 m (meter), 12 in = 1 foot, 3 foot = 1 yard.

Formula for Length:

English to Metric

Inches to Millimeters

Exact:
in / 0.03937 = mm

Approximately:
in / 0.04 ~ mm

Rough Example:
1 in ~ 25mm

10 mm = 1 cm (centimeter), 1,000 mm = 1 m (meter), 12 in = 1 foot, 3 foot = 1 yard.

Formula for Weight:

Metric to English

Grams to Ounces

Exact:
gm x 0.03527 = oz

Approximately:
gm x 0.03 ~ oz

Rough Example:
30gm ~ 1oz

Ounces used for conversion are US weight ounces (avoirdupois). 16 oz = 1 pound (lb.) 1000 grams = 1 kilogram (kg.)

Go to Conversion Table.

Formula for Weight:

English to Metric

Ounces to Grams

Exact:
oz x 28.349 = gm

Approximately:
oz x 30 ~ gm

Rough Example:
1oz ~ 30gm

Ounces used for conversion are US weight ounces (avoirdupois). 16 oz = 1 pound (lb.) 1000 grams = 1 kilogram (kg.)
