Unit Conversion Tables

Just for you old-school types, or those Americans out there who haven't yet grasped the virtues of using SI (metric) units (the maths is a lot easier !), heres a conversion calculator for you.

Energy

kW	= BTU/hr
BTU/hr	= kW

Mass

kg	= lbm     (or cups sugar)
lbm	= kg       (or cups sugar)
ounces	= g
g	= ounces

Volume

L	= US gallon	= UK gallon
US gallon	= L	= UK gallon
UK gallon	= L	= US gallon

US Fluid Ounce	= mL
mL	= US Fluid Ounce

Length

mm	= inches
m	= feet
inches	= mm
feet	= m

Temperature

degrees C	= degrees F
degrees F	= degrees C

Sugar Concentration

Specific Gravity (SG)	= degrees Plato
degrees Plato	= SG
kg sugar made up to L total volume
should have an SG , be Plato degrees, and only require L of water

"degrees Plato" = weight % of sugar per total weight of the solution.
eg 20P = 200g sugar, in 1kg of solution
