How do I convert foot-pounds of torque to Newton meters?

Per the chart, multiply pounds-force feet (ft-lb) by 1.356 to get Newton meters (N·m); multiply N·m by .738 to convert back to ft-lb.

How do I convert psi to kilopascals?

Multiply pounds per square inch (psi) by 6.895 to get kilopascals (kPa); multiply kPa by .145 to convert back to psi.

What is the conversion between US gallons and liters?

US gallons x 3.785 = liters; liters x .264 = US gallons.

How do I convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?

The chart gives °F = (°C x 1.8) + 32 and °C = (°F – 32) x .56.

How do I convert US MPG to kilometers per liter?

Multiply miles per gallon US (MPG) by .425 to get kilometers per liter (Km/L); multiply Km/L by 2.352 to get US MPG.

This document is a standard-to-metric conversion factors chart, typical of the reference pages found in automotive repair manuals. It is organized into sections covering Length–Distance (inches to millimeters, feet to meters, miles to kilometers), Volume (cubic inches to cubic centimeters, Imperial and US pints/quarts/gallons to liters, fluid ounces to milliliters), Mass–Weight (ounces to grams, pounds to kilograms), Pressure (psi to kilopascals, inches of mercury and inches of water conversions), Torque (inch-pounds and foot-pounds to Newton meters), Velocity (MPH to KPH), Power (horsepower to kilowatts), Fuel Consumption (miles per gallon to kilometers per liter for both Imperial and US gallons), and Temperature (Fahrenheit/Celsius formulas). Each row gives the multiplication factor in both directions, e.g., inches x 25.4 = millimeters and millimeters x .0394 = inches. A footnote explains converting mpg to liters/100 km (mpg IMP x l/100 km = 282; mpg US x l/100 km = 235). The chart is generic — it contains no vehicle-specific information, part numbers, or year/model applicability — and serves as a quick reference for anyone converting between English and metric units when performing automotive service work such as torque specs or fluid capacities.
