Avoirdupois Weight is the system of weights used in most English Speaking countries.

1 dram= 1.772 grams 1 ounce = 16 drams 1 pound = 16 ounces= 7,000 grains 1 stone = 14 pounds 1 hundredweight = 112 pounds (US 100 pounds) 1 short ton= 0.907 tonne = 2,000 pounds 1 (long) ton = 20 hundredweight = 2,240 pounds

Troy Weight (Precious Metals) 24 grains = 1 pennyweight 20 pennyweights = 480 grains = 1 ounce 12 ounces = 5760 = grains = 1 pound Apothecaries' Weight 20 grains = 1 scruple 3 scruples = 1 dram 8 drams = 1 ounce 12 ounces = 5760 grains = 1 pound Archaic and less frequently used linear measure

CONVERSION FORMULA

The nautical mile is defined as the average distance on the earth's surface corresponding to an angle of 1 minute of arc. A speed of one nautical miles per hour is known as the knot.The International Nautical mile is accepted by the Royal Navy (1970) as being equal to 1852 metres. As the earth is not a perfect sphere, but is an oblate spheroid, the distance corresponding to one minute of arc will vary depending on location. The value of 6080 feet is a compromise and is the value as measured at some point in the English channel

3 hands = 1 foot 1 span 9 inches 1 rod, pole or perch = 16.5 feet 40 poles = 1 furlong 8 furlongs = 1 mile 320 rods = 1 mile 3 miles = 1 league Nautical miles and Knots 10 cables = 1 nautical mile 6080 feet = 1 nautical mile 1 Knot = 1.151 mph

Depth 6 feet = 1 fathom 15 fathom = 1 shackle Power horsepower - 745.7 Watts (SI) or 735.5 Watts (Continental Europe )

C to F first deduct 32, Multiply by 5 then Divide by 8 F to C Multiply by 9, Divide by 5, Add 32
