Temperature. Temperature is a special case in which temperature scales are very different, so, you need to do multiple operations to convert from metric (Celsius) to Imperial (Fahrenheit) and vice versa. If you know °F, use the equation in the third column to convert to °C.

The metric system of measurement is the standard way of measuring distance, calculating height, and most of the other day-to-day items. For instance, let's consider a jar of milk. We use liters to find the volume of milk and meters (or centimeters) to find the height of the jar.
The metric unit for distance is the meter (m). A person’s height might be written as 1.8 meters (1.8 m). A meter slightly longer than a yard (3 feet), while a centimeter is slightly less than half an inch. The metric unit for area is the square meter (m 2). The area of a professional soccer field is 7,140 square meters (7,140 m 2).
Divide each of these parts in to 10 equal parts to show decimeter (10 cm). Take 11 parts of dm length and divide it in to 10 equal parts. Each of these parts will show a length of 1.1 dm or 11 cm. To measure 2.39 m, place one leg of the divider at A on 99 cm mark and other leg at B on 1.4 mark. (0.99 + 1.4 = 2.39).
This document provides an overview of scales used in engineering graphics. It discusses the key steps to construct scales, including: 1) Calculating the representative fraction (R.F.) from given dimensions. 2) Determining the maximum length (M.L.) to be measured.
This appendix presents the SI and English (imperial) units, which are used in various areas of trans-portation engineering, and their conversion factors. Some metric units and factors that are not listed in the SI but are commonly used and remain internationally recognized are also included.
