Engineering Design Handbook. Metric Conversion Guide
Abstract
The general purpose of this handbook is to prepare scientists, engineers, and technicians of the U. S. Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command (DARCOM) for increasing use of the International Systems of Units (SI) or, as it is frequently referred to, the 'metric system'. The specific objectives are to give DARCOM personnel (1) the tools required to convert the units of physical quantities and equations to SI units, (2) the information needed to correctly interpret specifications and documentation using the SI, and (3) the information needed to generate specifications and prepare documentation in SI units.
