The document outlines the unit conversions between the metric system (mks) and the imperial system (fps). It provides specific conversions for linear measurements, area measurements, and relationships between units in both systems. Key conversions include measurements for meters, feet, hectares, and acres.
Unit conversion for Civil Engineers
- 2. MKS and FPS • MKS = Meter, Kilogram and Seconds • FPS = foot, Pound and Seconds • MKS system is also Known as Metric System • FPS system is also known as Imperial System Prakash Kumar S
- 3. Linear Measurement MKS • 10mm = 1cm • 10cm = 1 deca meter • 10 deca = 1 meter • 1m = 100cm = 1000mm • 1km = 1000 m FPS • 1 ft = 12 inches • 1 chain = 66 ft = 30 m • 1 link = .66ft = .3m = 30cm • 1 yard = 3 ft Prakash Kumar S
- 4. Area Conversion MKS • 1 sq.m = 1000*1000 sq.mm • 1sq.cm = 10*10 sq.mm • 1 Hectare = 10,000 sq.m • 1 Hectare = 100 are FPS • 1 cent = 435.6 sq.f • 1 Acre = 100cent = 43560 sq.f • 1 ground = 2400 sq.f Prakash Kumar S
- 5. Conversion between MKS and FPS Area • 1 Hectare = 2 Acre 47 cent • 1 cent = 40.5 sq.m • 1 Acre = 4046.8 sq.m • 1sq.f = 0.0929 sq.m • 1sq.m = 10.764 sq.f Linear • 1 inch = 2.54 cm • 1 feet = 0.3048 m • 1m = 3.281 f • 1mile = 1.61 km Prakash Kumar S
