This table shows the common prefixes. Others, from 10-24 to 1024 are acceptable for use of the SI. See NIST SP 330. Table 2. SI Prefixes. Prefixes produce units that are of an appropriate size for the application, e.g., millimeter for measurement of the dimensions of small screws, or kilometer for the measurement of distances on maps. Examples ...

The table below gives conversion factors from a variety of units to the corresponding SI unit. Examples of the use of this table have already been given in the preceding section. For each physical quantity the name is given, followed by the recommended symbol(s).
FACTORS FOR UNIT CONVERSIONS Quantity Equivalent Values Mass 1 kg = 1000 g = 0.001 metric ton = 2.20462 lbm = 35.27392 oz 1 lbm = 16 oz = 5 x 10‐4 ton = 453.593 g = 0.453593 kg Length 1 m = 100 cm = 1000 mm = 106 microns (µm) = 1010 angstroms (Å)

The conversion factors given in Tables M & N are equally valid for this purpose if the local acceleration of gravity if the earth standard value of g = 32.174 ft/sec2 = 9.80665 meter/sec2. This is true because the pound-force and the pound-mass are numerically equal at standard gravity.
Common Conversion Factors Mass Basic Unit 1 lb = 454 g Length Basic Unit 1 in = 2.54 cm Volume Derived Unit 1.06 qt = 1 L 1 mL = 1 cm3 = 1 cc The preferred abbreviation for Liter is L, but l is also accepted. (L is used because many fonts use the same character for lower case l and the number one. ...
